Generator 3-2
The generator is located in the starboard forepeak. It is self-contained and charges its own
starting battery. Should the generator alternator fail, the auxiliary charge on the
charger/inverter will charge the battery. See Inverter/Charger diagram (EL-04-19) for
description of its functions.
Sea water for cooling is provided by a pump located under the floor in the starboard engine
area.
Details for operation and maintenance are in the manufacturer’s manual. Note also the
registration form and dealer checks required to maintain warranty eligibility. See the
Generator Set Diagram (EL-04-20) for a further description on operating the generator.
Fuel Systems 3-3
Two 60-gallon (227.5 litre) diesel fuel tanks are located under the floorboards in each hull,
with fuel filters and shut off valves. The fillers are located on deck above the tanks. See
Deck Service Locations diagram (GA-04-04) for location.
Fuel Filters
A fuel filter/water separator is provided beside each engine. Check frequently for water at
the bottom of the bowls. When present, with the engine OFF, drain the water from the bowl.
Filter element change is recommended at 250 hours, or every second oil change – more
often if dirty fuel has been encountered.
