The water lock silencer (muffler) is the collection point for water in the exhaust system when you shut the engine down, and as such needs to be the lowest part of the exhaust system. You need a drop of about 9” from the exit of the exhaust elbow (X on the drawing below) to the inlet of the waterlock muffler. If you are unable to accomplish this then we suggest using a high rise exhaust elbow which will raise point x up by the required amount.
If you are using a plastic waterlock muffler or a fiberglass one, then we suggest a minimum of 12” length of hose between the exit of the exhaust elbow and the entry point of the waterlift muffler. This allows enough time for the water in the exhaust system to cool the gases down, so you do not have any muffler problems.
It is always easier to adjust the engine controls at the helm station so that when you push the gear lever forward, the boat moves forward not backward. And, when you move the throttle forward, the engine goes faster.
If you use our single lever control, this is adjustable at installation to work on either side of the cockpit and provide these results. If however, you are using controls on a steering (pedastal) binnacle. Only some of the better binnacle controls are reversable. Here we can help by providing a horizontal or vertical cable for the gear change and a reversing mechanism for the engine. See attached photo examples (brackets vary depending on engine model).
If you are going to fit a hot water heater (calorifier) and let the coolant from the closed circuit of the engine heat the water for you, It is essential to get the plumbing correct so that you don’t have an overheat problem with your engine. Keep the supply and return lines between the engine and hot water heater as short as possible and avoid any big loops or dips in the hose. Remember that you fill the coolant at the cap that is on top of the manifold that is on the engine. This must be the highest point of the cooling system because you cannot pour water uphill. If the shape of the boat forces you to mount the hot water heater above the engine, then you need to follow the drawing (link below) to ensure that your cooling system works correctly.
