guidelines,
and
safety
codes
must be complied
with

SIPHON-BREAK
For
installations
where
the
exhaust manifold/water injected exhaust elbow
is
close
to
or
will
be
below
the vessel's waterline,
provisions
must
be
made
to
install a
siphon-
break
in
the
raw
water
supply
hose
to
the exhaust
elbow.
This hose must be looped a
minimum
of
20"
above
the
vessel's
waterline.
Failure
to
use
a
siphon-break;
when
the
exhaust
manifold
injection
port
is
at
or
below
the
load
waterline
will
result
in
raw
water
damage
to
the
engine
and
possible
flooding
of
the
boat.
If
you
have
any
doubt
about
the
position of
the
water-injected exhaust
elbow
relative
to
the
vessel's waterline
.under
the
vessel's
various
operating
conditions,
install
a
siphon-break.
NOTE:
A siphon-break
requires
periodic inspection and cleaning
to
ensure
proper
operation.
Failure
to
properly maintain a siphon-break
can·
result
in
catastrophic
enq!ne
damage.
Consult
the
siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.

Conugated
Marine
Exhaust
Hose

can
be
used.
The
system
MUST
be
designed
to
prevent
the
entry
of

into
the exhaust
systertt'
under
any
sea
conditions
and
at
any
angle
of
vessels
heal.
