Section 1: Installation Guidelines

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The installation details are basic guidelines to assist
installation, however due to the great diversity of marine
craft it is unrealistic to give definitive instructions.
Therefore Beta Marine can accept no responsibility for any
damage or injury incurred during the installation of a Beta
Marine engine whilst following these guidelines.
• All engines should be placed within an enclosure
separated from living quarters and installed so as to
minimise the risk of fires or spread of fires as well as
hazards from toxic fumes, heat, noise or vibrations in
the living quarters.

VENTILATION

4 Ventilation
Air intake as low as possible (approx.
crankshaft height) and opposite to the
fan. The intake should be twice the size
of the outlet
IMPORTANT!
'Super Silent' Variants - Natural ventilation to
the acoustic enclosure must be provided.
• Unless the engine is protected by a cover or its own
enclosure, exposed moving or hot parts of the engine
that could cause personal injury should be effectively
shielded.
• Engine parts and accessories that require frequent
inspection and/or servicing must be readily accessible.
• The insulating materials inside engine spaces shall be
non-combustible.
Ensure water trap is fitted
to prevent ingress of water
It is recommended that the inlet and outlet areas for the
ventilation are / greater than the inlet and outlet areas

built into the engine`s acoustic enclosure. If this is not
the case forced ventilation should be considered but not
connected directly to the acoustic enclosure.
