Engine Room

The space of the engine room has been maximized. In addition to the usual layout of the engines are the dripless shaft seals that keep the spaces dry. We have added an oil change system with three lines, one to each engine and the gen set. One can drain and add oil from this manifold. The water maker is located here for easy access for maintenance and monitoring. Access valves are also accessible for the air conditioning, watermaker, and wash down bib. The furnace fuel filter is here as well as components of the heating system. Between the engines are the house batteries enclosed in their own custom battery box. The 3K inverter charger is mounted in the ceiling out of the way and easily accessible. The port engine exhaust is customized with stainless bends to maximize flow. All is laid out without encumbering access.
