Hi Friends
Is it possible to share the
raw water intake
on a
Volvo saildrive raw water intake with a Genset, not running both at the same time?
Idea would be to put in a tee after the strainer
with an in-line ball valve coming off the tee to feed the genset,
water would always flow to
engine
but only to genset when valve is open and
engine off.
This would prevent running engine dry if
someone forgets to turn valves.
Set up is on a cat and owner (Friend)
is concerned about existing through
hull
sucking in air as p.o. told him to not run
the genset while underway for this reason
All comments welcome, especially any better ideas
Won’t be my first bad idea so let me have it
Good Bad Ugly
Cheers
Neil
