8.9 EXHAUST SYSTEM

The engine exhausts (1) are submerged silenced exhausts.
This system reduces the smoke that usually tends to soil the yacht’s stern.
The exhausts have to be checked at regular intervals to avoid the formation of build-ups that could prevent the correct gas ejection.

WARNING

When starting the engines, check that water comes out of the semi-submerged exhaust; this means that the engines cooling system works correctly and that the exhaust is cooled. Accelerate if no water comes out.
If the problem continues, contact the Service Department.

CAUTION

A strong smell and a light smoke from exhaust insulation are normal during the first period of use.

WARNING

Avoid prolonged use of low speed engines to avoid overheating of the exhaust ducts due to reduced circulation of cooling water.

MAINTENANCE

At least once every three months carry out the tightening of the discharge raiser bolts.

CAUTION

Some temperature sensors have been installed on both engine exhausts, the warning lights are visible on the fly and on the engine control panels in the helm station and they light up to indicate that the temperature inside the exhausts is too high.
