5.4.3 Installation of the through hull fitting in Yachts - Schema
It is good practice for yachts to use a through hull fitting
with an integrated strainer. The through hull fitting (raw
water intake) is often mounted against the sailing direction
to induce more water intake for cooling.
For Panda generators, the through hull inlet should NOT point in the
sailing direction! When sailing at higher speeds more water will be
forced into the inlet than the pump can handle and your generator
will flood.

Installation Instructions
In order to keep the suction resistance in the line at a minimum, the raw water intake system must have an inner
diameter of at least 1" (25 mm).
This applies also to installation components such as through-hull fitting, sea cock, raw water filter etc.
The intake suction line should be kept as short as possible. Install the raw water inlet in close proximity to the genset.
After start-up the cooling water quantity must be measured
(e.g. by catching at the exhaust). The flow rate, as
well as the necessary cross section of the cooling water
pipe see section 8.10, “Diameter of conduits,” on
