We're installing a new
Yanmar 4JH5E on our Hans Christina 38 Telstar. The
engine is under the
galley sinks. The old
engine was destroyed by a leak from said sink (we were not the owners!) so we want to avoid any possibility of that happening again. Also seems like the sinks would act as speakers for engine
noise.
So we're thinking of building a sort of sloping enclosure around the sink. Sloping so any
water that collects there could drain to the side and enclosed so we can put sound
insulation on it. We're sound insulating with sounddown.
Anyone done this? Any tips on handling an over the engine sink? Any pictures of your
installation?
Thanks!
