water. Mounted on the bulkhead itself are several battery main on-off switches for the starting
and propulsion batteries, all clearly marked. Also on the wall under the table is the fuel
manifold.
At the aft end of each engine is its transmission, with the shafts exiting the hull through
PSS dripless shaft seals. Morse control cables control the reverse gears. Alongside and
inboard of each engine are the primary fuel
filters. (Each engine has a secondary fuel
filter, and lubricating oil filters, mounted
directly upon it.)
Aft of the port engine, a switch
labeled “PARALLEL” is used only in the
event a start battery is dead (it combines
starting and house batteries, and should
very seldom, if ever, be needed. Be sure to
start a generator and have the chargers
and inverter running first before turning it
on! As soon as the engine starts, return the
switch to “OFF”.
On the port hull side shelf are the
refrigeration and air conditioning
compressors, the Invertor with a battery disconnect immediately below it, and the McCarron
charger. Beneath the shelf the large red tank is the heating system expansion tank. Forward
of these are another outlet, the heating system circulating water manifold and valves, and the
furnace itself alongside the Utility Room wall.
Forward of the port engine is its coolant expansion tank, its sea strainer/thru hull, and
the built-in engine fire extinguishing system. A hose with fresh water faucet attached is also
here.
