Installation angles
These engines are intended to be mounted so that
the cylinders are vertical, when viewed from ahead or
astern as in figure 1. The operational angles that are
permissible in service are a static installation angle of
17O nose up, adding 3O for planing craft, with a heel
angle of 25O continuous and 35O as shown in figures
2 and 3.

Engine mounting brackets

The standard brackets, provide mounting points
which are 76mm (3”) below, and parallel with, the
crankshaft centre line. The brackets may be used
to mount the engine directly on the engine bearers,
but for all applications it is recommended that flexible
engine mounts are used.
Figure 4 shows the holes (1) for the holding down

bolts are slotted, 36 x 17 (1.7/16 x 21/32”) to allow for
some movement during the final stages of alignment.
Where fine alignment is not necessary, for example
when a flexibly jointed drive shaft is used, the bolts on
all four corners of the engine should be positioned at
the end of the slot - all either fully in or fully out. This will
provide additional security in the fixing arrangements.
Note: Please refer to the GA (General Arrangement)

drawings for specific engine mount positions.
For any non standard options, please contact the

Wimborne Marine Power Centre for advice.
Figure 4
Page 4
N40475 Chapter 2
Flexible engine mounts

It is recommended that flexible engine mounts should
be used for all applications. The principal purpose of
the mounts is to reduce the transmission of vibration
from the engine to the hull, but another valuable
advantage is that the mountings reduce the shock
transmitted from the hull to the engine under adverse
weather conditions and also prevent the engine being
inadvertently used as a structural part of the boat,
due to flexing in the hull, a function the engine will not
satisfactorily fulfil.
Figure 5 shows the flexible engine mount for most

applications.
Note: refer to the installation drawing for specific

dimensions, which are for the mount in the unloaded
condition.
To adjust the height of the mount, use the adjuster nut

and bolt (2) against the pad (3) to introduce shims (4).
A maximum of thirteen shims per mount can be used,
eleven at 1mm thick and 2 at 0.5mm thick.
Radially slotted holes (5) can be utilised to obtain the

optimum position.
Engines used with unusual drive arrangements, such

as ‘V’ drives when integral with the engine unit, pose
special mounting problems and recommendations as
to the most suitable mounting arrangement can be
made for specific applications.
Note: For transmission ratios above 2:1 or use

in extreme conditions, please contact your local
distributor for advice.
Installation drawings are available showing the

Figure 5 preferred mounting arrangements when using a
variety of gearboxes and applications.

Chapter 2 N40475
Engine bearers
The materials and methods of construction of engine
bearers which have proved to be satisfactory in service
vary to such an extent that it is difficult to lay down
universal guide lines. However, as a rough guide it
can be said the engine bearers should be capable of
supporting a static load of about eight times the weight
of the engine, to cater for the effects of rough seas.
The bearers should be cross connected to give lateral

rigidity, in order to maintain the shaft alignment and
to prevent twisting and racking forces being applied
to the engine.
To enable minimum shaft centre distances to be

achieved in a twin installation, a common centre
bearer supporting the inner mountings of both
engines is sometimes used as shown in figure 6. By Figure 6
this method shaft centres down to 783mm (31”) may
be adopted, but wider spacing is desirable.
The shaft centres could be theoretically reduced

further, but this would result in the engine accessibility
becoming very restricted, and it would be impossible
to carry out service operations. It should be noted that
if minimum shaft centres are to be adopted, space
must be left in front of and behind the engine to
provide access. A minimum clearance on all sides will
mean that the engine cannot be serviced!
Page 6
N40475 Chapter 3
Propeller shafts and couplings
Propeller shafts
It is recommended that all engines are mounted on flexible
mountings (1), which will reduce noise and vibration,
and will prevent hull movements resulting in forces being
applied to the engine.
The responsibility for the design and installation of the

transmission system connected to the gearbox lies with
the boat designer, the boat builder, the naval architect or
the engine installer. It is recommended that a Torsional
Vibration Analysis (TVA) is carried out on the complete
drive system. Mass Elastic Data can be provided on
request from Wimborne Marine Power Centre.
Figure 1 shows a simple arrangement, where the propeller

shaft is supported only by the gearbox coupling and an
outboard rubber bearing at the propeller end. Entry of water
into the boat is prevented by a shaft seal, which must be
flexibly mounted to allow for engine movement. A flexible
shaft coupling (2) is fitted to the gearbox coupling, to allow
momentary angular misalignment in operation.
This system is only suitable for applications where the

speed, diameter, and unsupported length of the propeller
shaft will not induce ‘whirling’ (i.e. the centrifugal force
generated by the speed of rotation is not sufficient to bend
the shaft into a bow shape).
Figure 1 also shows a cutless bearing (3), flexibly mounted

shaft seals (4), reinforced rubber hose (5), graphited
Figure 1 asbestos string (6), stuffing box (7) and the drive shaft (8).
Where the propeller shaft length is such that it cannot be

simply supported by the gearbox coupling and ‘P’ bracket,
without the risk of whirling, the arrangement shown in figure
2 may be adopted.
Water supply (4) for bearings (use hose from M14 x 1.5
tapping on heat exchanger end cap). End cap with tapping
is optional.
In this case one or more additional bearings (3) are included

in the shaft log, and flexible shaft couplings (2) (which will
accept thrust) are used to permit the engine to move on the
flexible mountings (1) .
Warning! Use a syphon break (5) where a water lift exhaust

system is specified.
A variation of this is to use a thrust block (bearing) at the

point where the shaft emerges from the log into the engine
room, together with constant velocity joints at each end of
the short shaft connected to the gearbox coupling.

N40475 Chapter 4
Exhaust systems
A range of exhaust components are available for use

with all types of exhaust system. The components
are designed to connect together, allowing complex
systems to be built from stock items, to suit most
installations.
Caution: In all types of exhaust system the exhaust

back pressure must not exceed 15kPa, when
measured within 305mm (12 inches) of the exhaust
outlet from the engine.
Wet systems
Figure 1
Wet exhaust systems, where the auxiliary water
used to circulate through the heat exchangers on the
engine is finally dumped into the exhaust pipe to cool
the exhaust gases, are the most common choice for
small craft. Their principal advantage is that a rubber
exhaust hose may be used, with a fairly low surface
temperature, which presents no risk of fire.
The exhaust bore is 125mm (5”).
A general arrangement for such a system is shown on

Figure 1. In many cases the exhaust outlet passes
through the transom, just above the waterline (1). It
will be seen that a minimum fall of 5O (2) is required,
and that the point of water injection must be at least
8 inches above the waterline (3), although the actual
height necessary for a particular boat can only be
decided in the light of the exhaust system design,
and the pitch and roll which may be encountered in
service.
Caution: It is essential that the exhaust system is

designed so that water from the exhaust does not
enter the engine under any conceivable operational
condition.
Page 9
Chapter 4 N40475
Figure 2 shows the exhaust elbow (1) with water
injection and insulating blanket (3) & (4). The elbow
can be rotated (2) to achieve the optimal position.
Note: The exhaust elbow must have a fall of 10O

downwards.
If a taller system is required then a dry 90O elbow

(not shown) can be used on the turbocharger outlet
with the water injected elbow (1). As both elbows use
a clamp, full articulation can be utilised to suit most
applications
Note: The clamps are to be torqued to 9Nm.
Due consideration must be given to providing flexibility

in the exhaust hose, particularly if the engine is
flexibly mounted. Where the exhaust hose must pass
through a bulkhead immediately behind the engine it
is preferable that the arrangement shown in figure 3 is
adopted, using rubber bellows (1) to provide flexibility.
Note: that the bellows should be in an unstrained

condition when fitted, a minimum fall of 5o (3) is
required, and that the point of water injection must be
at least 8 inches above the waterline (2).
Note: A single double hump bellows can be used

where space is restricted.
Caution: Movement of the engine on the flexible

mounts must not be restricted by the exhaust hose.
Figure 2
Figure 3
Page 10
N40475 Chapter 4
Dry systems
Dry exhaust systems for marine installations need
careful design to minimize the disadvantages of
enclosing components that are at a high temperature
in confined spaces.
The first part of a dry system should include a flexible

connection so that excessive weight is not carried
by the connection to the engine. Connections of the
stainless steel bellows type are suitable, but care
must be taken to ensure that they are only required to
accommodate movements that do not involve twisting
the ends of the bellows relative to each other.
The remainder of the exhaust system should be well

insulated to avoid fire risk.
If there is a long exhaust run which gains height as it

leaves the engine, it may be necessary to incorporate
a trap to collect condensate and allow it to be drained.
Figures 4 shows a typical system. The minimum bore

of the exhaust pipe should be 85mm (3.34 inches).
(1) Bracket with link to allow for movement due to

expansion in the exhaust system (horizontal exhaust
systems should be suspended from the deck head
using similar brackets - rigid brackets should not be
used).
(2) Insulating lagging.
(3) Rigid bracket to support the weight of the vertical

exhaust system.
(4) Heat blanket.
Figure 4 (5) Twin stainless steel bellows fitted to avoid torsional

load on bellows unit.
(6) Heat blanket.
(7) Turbocharger adaptor.
(8) Heat blanket.
(9) 90O Elbow.
Note: When fitted, the bellows units should be in

an unstrained condition so that the full bellows
movement is available to absorb expansion and
engine movement.
Page 11
Chapter 4 N40475
Part dry, part wet systems

Even where the engine is mounted well below the waterline
the advantages of a wet system can still be gained, providing
that water injection takes place at a point sufficiently above
the waterline.
In these circumstances the part dry, part wet system

shown in figure 5 can be utilised. The modular exhaust
components allow a system to be readily constructed,
utilising a tall dry riser, followed by a water injection elbow.
(1) Stainless steel bellows.
(2) Optional high rise extension - not factory supplied.

(3) Flexible hanger.
(4) Point of water injection to be 200mm (8 inches) minimum

(6) Water line.
Water lift systems

Figure 6 shows the main features of such a system, which
utilises pressure developed by the exhaust gases to
force a mixture of gas and water to a height which may
be considerably above the engine. When the engine is
stopped the exhaust tank contains the water which falls
back from the exhaust riser.
If a proprietary unit is used the manufacturers instructions

should be carefully followed, but figure 5 identifies the key
features.

(2) Water injection elbow.
(3) To overboard outlet.
(4) 1/2” bore siphon break.
(5) Top of exhaust riser and point at which the siphon break
is connected to the engine pipe work must be above the Figure 6
water line under the worst possible conditions (normally
a distance of 450mm (18”) under static conditions will be
sufficient)
(6) Exhaust riser.
Note: that the system must meet the requirement for

the maximum exhaust back pressure to be not greater
than 15kPa, measured within 305mm (12 inches) of the
turbocharger/ exhaust outlet. Minimum volume of exhaust
tank should be 3 times the volume of the water in the riser.
The tank should be installed near the centre-line of sailing
craft.
Page 12
N40475 Chapter 4
Silencers
In some applications a reduction in noise levels from
the exhaust would be desirable and to that extent, a
silencer can be fitted.
The exhaust system ejects the cooling water as

well as silencing the engine’s combustion noise and
removing the exhaust gases. The system must create
minimal restriction to the flow of exhaust gases, known
as back pressure, or the engine may be damaged.
Figure 7
Figure 7 shows an engine sited well above the
waterline (1), with a gradient steeper than 5O to the
back of the boat. The water will run naturally down the
exhaust to the stern. To reduce noise a straightforward
in-line silencer (2) should be used.
Note: The above is used in relation to 15kPa.
Page 13
Chapter 4 N40475
Page 14
N40475 Chapter 5
Engine room ventilation
The engine room must be ventilated for two reasons:
1. To supply the engine with air for combustion.
2. To provide a flow of air through the engine room to

prevent an excessive temperature build up, which may
cause components such as the alternator to overheat.
Note: The air temperature entering the engine should not

exceed 52OC (126OF). The air temperature entering the
engine room should not exceed 60OC (140OF).
In most applications in temperate climates, the engine

will draw air from the engine room. If this is the case then,
as a rough guide, it can be taken that every horsepower
produced by the engines requires, as a minimum, 161 sq.
mm, (6.34 sq.ins.) of vent area. If the boat is likely to be
used in hot climates, and if engine room ventilation fans are
fitted, then a vent area of 322.58 sq.mm (12.7 sq.ins.) per
horsepower should be provided. Wherever possible a flow
Figure 1 of air through the engine room should be encouraged by
using forward facing intake vents to take advantage of ram
airflow, together with other vents to allow hot air to escape.
Noise absorbing chambers (1) with deflector baffles and

noise absorbent material (2) are positioned to direct
ventilation air flow over a large surface area of absorbent
material.
Cross sectional area of air flow path must not be too small.
With an effective ventilation system the engine air intake

temperature will be no more than 10OC higher than the
outside air temperature.
Note: For the minimum cross section of air duct

per engine see ‘Reference data’ at the back of this
manual.
The air entry vents should be situated where spray is not

likely to enter them and some form of water trap is desirable
(see figure 1). Preferably the air ducts should reach the
engine compartment at the sides of the hull so that water
will fall into the bilge.
When the engines are shut down after a run at high output
in high ambient temperature conditions, it will be found
that very high air temperatures will build up in the engine
compartment. In boats with open cockpits this is usually of
no real consequence but if the engines are mounted below
a wheel house, then unpleasantly warm conditions may
result. In these circumstances engine room ventilation fans
are beneficial, preferably arranged to exhaust air from over
the engine.

N40475 Chapter 6
Engine cooling systems
Auxiliary water systems

A completely separate sea water system should
be provided for each engine to prevent a blockage
resulting in the need to shut down more than one
engine and a typical system is shown in figure 1.
The water intake fitting (4) should not project

appreciably below the bottom of the hull and it should
be situated well clear of other components such as
shafts, logs, rudders to prevent flow problems at high
speeds.
The intake fittings and pipework should have a

minimum bore of 32mm (1.25”) be provided. This
should be of the full flow type giving unobstructed
passage to the water in the open position, with a
minimum bore of 32mm (1.25”).
Between the intake fitting and the sea water pump (1)
on the engine, there should be a strainer (5) which
should be easily accessible for routine examination,
and should be easily removable.
From the sea water strainer a pipe (2) should be

run to the sea water pump inlet connection on the
engine. The pipe may either be mainly rigid, of for
example copper or cupro-nickel, or flexible, but only
flexible hose which is reinforced to prevent collapse
should be used. Rubber hose connections in the sea
water system should be kept as short as possible.
The system must be sufficiently flexible to permit
the engine to move on its flexible mountings. The
sea water pump connection is for hose with a 32mm
(1.25”) bore.
Care should be taken to use compatible materials

in the sea water systems, to prevent excessive
electrolytic corrosion. Systems incorporating copper,
cupro-nickel, stainless steel Type 316, gun-metal,
silver solder, and aluminium brass will generally be
satisfactory. Components made from lead, iron, steel,
aluminium or its alloys, zinc or magnesium, should be
generally avoided. Refer to section 8 on anodes.
Note: Where possible mount the strainer (5) so that

the top is just above the waterline (6) - to facilitate
cleaning.

The pipework between the engine and coolers should

be as short and direct as is possible, but should be
sufficiently flexible to allow the engine to move on it’s
flexible mountings. The layout should discourage the
formation of air locks, and venting points should be
provided wherever an air lock is likely to occur.
The keel cooling system should normally be filled with

a water/antifreeze mixture containing 50% antifreeze.
This mixture is necessary even in warm climates, as
the anti freeze contains corrosion inhibitors which
protect the engine cooling system.

Fuel systems
Cleanliness of fuel system components
Cleanliness of the engine
NOTICE
It is important to maintain extreme cleanliness when working on the fuel system, since even tiny particles can
cause engine or fuel system problems.
Ensure the external surfaces of the engine are clean and dry before commencing work. Remove dirt and loose
debris before starting a repair on the fuel system. Ensure that no high pressure water is directed at the seals
for the injectors.
Environment
When possible, the service area should be positively pressurised with a clean air supply in order to ensure
that the components are not exposed to contamination from airborne dirt and debris. When a component is
removed from the system, the exposed fuel connections must be closed off immediately with suitable sealing
plugs. The sealing plugs should only be removed when the component is reconnected. The sealing plugs must
not be reused. Dispose of the sealing plugs immediately after use. Contact your nearest Perkins distributor in
order to obtain the correct sealing plugs.
New components
High pressure fuel lines are not reusable. New high pressure lines are manufactured for installation in one
position only. When a high pressure line is replaced, do not bend or distort the new line. Internal damage to the
pipe may cause metallic particles to be introduced to the fuel.
All new fuel filters, high pressure lines, tube assemblies and components are supplied with sealing plugs.
These sealing plugs should only be removed in order to install the new part. If the new component is not
supplied with sealing plugs then the component should not be used. The technician must wear suitable rubber
gloves. The rubber gloves should be disposed of immediately after completion of the repair in order to prevent
contamination of the system.
Refuelling
In order to refuel the diesel fuel tank, the refuelling pump and the fuel tank cap assembly must be clean and
free from dirt and debris. Only use fuel, free from contamination, that conforms to the specifications in the
Users Handbook.
Design and assembly faults in the fuel system are responsible for many problems with marine diesel engines.
A good system is not hard to achieve, being largely a matter of avoiding obvious pitfalls.
Fuel connections
A common reason for service problems with fuel systems is the use of poor or incompatible connectors, where
the pressure tightness depends upon the use of sealing compounds, hose clamps, fibre washers trapped
between inadequate and unmachined faces, or compression fittings which have been over-tightened to the
point where they no longer seal.
Cleanliness during initial assembly is also of vital importance, particularly when fuel tanks are installed, as
glass fibres and other rubbish may enter tanks through uncovered apertures.
Page 19
Chapter 7 N40475
Thread details of the connections on the engines for fuel pipes

• Fuel feed - 11/16” ORFS
• Fuel return - 11/16” ORFS
It is strongly recommended that the flexible fuel pipes, available as an option with the engine are used, which
are as follows:
Fuel feed
The free end of the flexible pipe has a 11/16” ORFS ended fitting, and is supplied with an connector to 1/4”
NPT.
Fuel return
The free end of the flexible pipe has a 11/16” ORFS ended fitting, and is supplied with an connector to 1/4”
NPT.
Fuel tanks should have the following features:
• The filler neck should be raised so that water will not enter when filling.
• The filler cap should seal effectively to prevent water entering when under way.
• A vent pipe should be fitted, again in such a way as to avoid the entry of water.
• The tank should have a sump or angled bottom with a drain tap so that water and sediment can be removed.
(This is not always possible).
• Internal baffles may be required to prevent fuel surge.
• The tank should have a removable panel to simplify cleaning.
• The fuel pipe work should be as simple as possible with the minimum of valves and cross connections, so
that obscure fuel feed problems are minimised.
• The tank should have at least two connections; a fuel feed connection, and a fuel return connection.
Whenever possible a tank should only supply one engine, but in any case each engine should have its own
fuel pipes, from tank to engine.
Page 20
N40475 Chapter 7
Typical fuel systems

The more simple the fuel system, the better it will
perform in service. Figure 1 shows an ideal system.
1. Fuel tank.
2. Fuel return pipe.
3. Manual fuel feed.
4. Stop cock.
Figure 1 5. Vent.
6. Drain.
In some applications there may be legislation that

requires that fuel lines draw from, and return to ,
the top of the tank. Figure 2 shows an acceptable
arrangement.
1. Fuel tank.
2. Fuel return pipe.
3. Manual fuel feed.
4. Vent.
5. Fuel feed tap.
6. Drain tap
Figure 2 The fuel tank may be steel, aluminium, or G.R.P. or,

alternatively, a rubber bag tank may be used. The
main fuel connection is taken from the rear of the tank
so that all the fuel is available for use when under way
when the hull will be at an angle. The fuel return is
extended within the tank to near the bottom in order
to prevent air locks which can arise due to siphoning
of the fuel when the engines are stopped.
The fuel lines may be of metal, either copper or ‘bundy’

steel tubing used either with compression fittings or
preferably soldered nipples, with a flexible armoured
rubber hose to connect to the primary fuel filter.
This simple fuel system is satisfactory when one or

more engines are run from a single fuel tank, and
it may also be used when there are two tanks each
supplying one engine. In the latter case the system
may include a cross connection, between the tanks by
means of a balancing pipe, with a valve, at each end.
In some installations cross connecting pipes between
the two engine feed pipes and the two engine return
pipes have been used, but valves are necessary
in every line so that the appropriate system may
be selected, and the complexity of installation and
operation is such that the advantages in operating
flexibility are out-weighed by the possibility of obscure
problems due to component malfunctions, incorrect
operation or engine interaction.
Page 21
Chapter 7 N40475
In some cases it is necessary to have a number of
fuel tanks in order to achieve the required operating
range. In such cases, where possible, one tank
should be regarded as the main tank for each engine
and the other tanks should be arranged so that they
will drain into the main tank by gravity. If a gravity
system is not possible, then the system shown in
figure 3 should be used.
Figure 3 shows a collector tank (1), fed by all the

storage tanks and connected to the engine feed (2)
and return systems (3), but with a vent pipe (4) taken
to any convenient tank.
There is no doubt however, that a simple fuel system

as illustrated in figure 1 should be used wherever
possible, as having a completely separate tank and
supply to each engine guarantees that if an engine
stops, due to running out of fuel or to water or foreign
matter in the fuel, the other engine will not be affected
simultaneously. This will give some time for appropriate
manoeuvring action to be taken. The simple system Figure 3
will also require the minimum number of valves and
fittings, which ensures maximum reliability in service.
Alarm tank
If the engine is equipped with duplex fuel pipes the
sensor in the alarm tank detects if there is a leak in
the inner fuel pipe.
When there is a leak, the fuel will occupy the cavity

between the two fuel pipes and flow down to the alarm
tank and activate the sensor alerting the operator.
Note: Additional monitoring devices are required that

are not incorporated within the ECM.
Page 22
N40475 Chapter 8
Engine electrical systems
A plug-together electrical system is available with

the engine, providing the following choices from the
engine connection:-
• Interconnecting cables of 12m lengths are standard.

3, 6, and 9m lengths are available as options.
• Optional harness to allow multiple instrument

panels to be fitted.
• 12V or 24V operation.
• Instrument panels - main, auxiliary or digital, which

may be used individually or in combination with a
keyswitch panel.
Engine wiring looms

The engine wiring loom connects the starter, alternator,
breakers, electronic engine controller (ECM), electric
stop, engine senders and injectors to a waterproof
(IP67) multiway connector situated on a flying lead
attached to the engine.
The engine circuit diagram can be found at the back

of this chapter.
When working on the harness, always secure the

harness in the original position with the correct clips
and away from pinch points, heat, and sharp edges.
The connectors are keyed to fit in only one direction,

which ensures proper pin to socket alignment. Never
force connectors, as they should fit together with
minimal effort.
Connectors are designed to seal out dirt and moisture

without the use of electrical grease.
When servicing the harness, inspect the condition of

the seals on the connectors. When pins are unused,
be sure to use blanking plugs to protect the connector
against dirt and moisture.
Page 23
Chapter 8 N40475
Breakers
Note: Breakers are provided to protect the electrical
system against accidental short circuits. The risk is
highest when the engine is being installed, or when
additional equipment is wired in, and is negligible
during normal operation.
The breakers may be found on the right hand side

above the oil filter, see figure 1.
• 10Amp - negative glow plug.
• 105Amp - positive glow plug.

Throttle synchronization / slow vessel

mode panel
The function of the synchronization switch, figure
8, designates one of the throttles in a dual engine
installation as the master throttle. When the switch (1)
is activated each engine will respond to this master
throttle.
One parameter must be configured in EST prior to

using a secondary throttle position sensor. In the
configuration screen, Secondary Throttle Enable
Status defaults to “Disabled” and must be set to
“Enabled”. If the “Number of Synchronized Engines
Configuration” parameter is programmed to more
than one engine, this parameter is automatically set
to “Enabled”.
Engine response to the synchronization switch

Position of the switch Engine response
Starboard Both engines respond to
the starboard throttle
None Each engine responds
to a separate throttle
Port Both engines respond to
the port throttle
The slow vessel mode (2) reduces the low idle of the
engine to 600rpm. This feature allows the customer to
Figure 8 operate the vessel at slow speeds with all engines in
gear for manoeuvring. Slow Vessel Mode cannot be
engaged during the first 15 seconds after the engine
has started or while the engine is in cold mode. When
slow vessel mode is engaged, the desired engine
speed will ramp down to the appropriate speed at a
fixed rate. Slow vessel mode can be exited at any
time. When slow vessel mode is disengaged, the
desired engine speed will ramp up to the appropriate
speed at a fixed rate.
Item (3) is a spare orifice for customers use.

ECM port or starboard interface

connectors
The MJB provides two interface connectors, one for
the port engine and one for the starboard engine,
which connect to the J61 customer connector. The
connections are to interface with the ECM customer
connector and provide battery power, switched inputs
and data link signals to and from the ECM. The
pin out is the same for both the port and starboard
connectors .
Grounding the battery negative

It is recommended that the battery negative busbar
should be grounded as close as possible to the
battery, by a substantial connection to the bonding
system within the boat. This will reduce the likelihood
of interference between items of electrical and
electronic equipment fitted to the boat.
Page 40

Port or starboard expansion connectors

The MJB provides two connectors, one for port
and one for starboard, which will be used for future
expansion. The pin out is the same for both the port
and starboard connectors.
Starter Interlock (Pins 1 & 2)

The starter interlock provides a means of preventing
the engine from starting through a switched circuit.
The starter interlock may be wired through a neutral
safety switch or other similar device. If no such device
is installed, a jumper wire should be installed between
expansion connector pins 1 and 2 as in figure 25.

Diagnostic lamp (Pin 2)

The diagnostic lamp, figure 27 alerts the operator
to the presence of an active diagnostic code. A
diagnostic code indicates a fault condition in the
electronic control system. The operator uses this
indication to help diagnose component failures in
the electronic control system. The diagnostic flash
codes should only be used to indicate the nature
of the occurrence of a diagnostic condition. The Figure 27
flash codes should not be used to perform detailed
troubleshooting. Troubleshooting should be performed
using diagnostic codes that are displayed by using an
electronic service tool.
When the ECM is energized (keyswitch turned ON),

the warning lamp will turn on for five seconds. Then
the lamp will turn off unless the ECM detects a warning
condition.

Battery isolator switches

A switch should be fitted in the positive lead to the
starter, as close to the battery as is convenient. The
switch should be suitable for a momentary current of
at least 950 Amps.
Zinc Anode bonding system

Caution: The engine may be damaged by electrolytic
corrosion if the correct bonding procedure is not
adopted. Please read the guidelines below carefully.
Electrolytic corrosion within the engine cooling system

and transmission can be much reduced or eliminated
by bonding the engine to a Zinc anode which is used
to protect through the hull metal fittings and other
metal components that are in contact with sea water. Figure 29
The engine is fitted with a stud (figure 29 item 1) that
may be used for this purpose and is identified by a
label as shown in figure 30.
BOATBUILDER
Use this stud to connect the
engine to the Zinc Anode system
installed in the boat.
(For further details see the Installation Manual)
Figure 30
Page 44
N40475 Chapter 8
Typical system in common use

The bonding system in the boat should provide a low
resistance connection between all metals in contact
with sea water, together with a connection to a Zinc
sacrificial anode which is fixed to the outside of the
hull below sea level.
The bonding should consist of heavy stranded

wire (not braiding or wire with fine strands). It is an
advantage if the wire is tinned. Insulation is also an
advantage and should preferably be green in colour.
Although the current carried by the bonding system
will not normally exceed 1 amp, the cable sizes should
be generous as shown in the table below:
Length of run to
Suggested cable size
Zinc Anode
Up to 30 feet 7 strand / 0.85mm (4mm2)
30 - 40 feet 7 strand / 1.04mm (6mm2)
As many of the connections may be splashed with

sea water they should be soldered wherever possible
Figure 31 and clamped elsewhere, with the joint protected from
corrosion by neoprene paint, or a similar material, to
exclude water.

Provision for power take-off
Warning! Remove all paint traces from the mating

faces before assembly.
Fit the power take-off shaft, (figure 1 item 1) using

bolts (figure 1 item 2) and tighten to a final torque of
84 lb.ft. (115Nm)
Fit the key (figure 1 item 3) to the power take-off shaft

.
For axial drives

For axial drives it is recommended that a flexible drive
coupling between the engine and any given load is
Figure 1 used.
For belt drives

Standard options are:-
Either a 5” ‘A’ section pulley with three grooves (figure

2 item 1) and a taper lock (figure 2 item 2).
or
A 5” ‘B’ section pulley with two grooves (figure 3).
In this case the maximum power which can be taken

will be limited by the belts, and it will be necessary to
calculate for marginal applications.
Caution: Additional inertia must not be added to the

P.T.O. shaft without specialist advice. Consult your
Figure 2 distributor if you need advice about non-standard
drive arrangements.

Calorifier and block heater connections
Calorifier
Fittings are available to allow a calorifier to be
connected to the engine, as shown in figure 1. The
fittings may be ordered as part of the engine assembly,
or as loose parts to be fitted later.
The hose connections to the calorifier must be of a

radiator or heater hose quality and 1/2” bore, and
must be installed so that chafing will not occur.
(1) Supply to calorifier.
(2) Return from calorifier.
Block heater connection points

A mains powered cylinder block heater may be fitted
to keep the engine warm when the boat is stored in
low temperatures. A suitable heater may be ordered
as part of the engine assembly, or may be fitted later.
Figure 2 shows the connection point. The core plug

in the position shown on the engine block is removed
and the block heater fitted and secured with a bolt.
If the heater is ordered at the same time as the engine,

it can be attached to the engine.
