  • ENGINE IDENTIFICATION

    NOTE: In all communications withthe distributor or Beta Marine, theengine number, type, and W.O.C.number must be quoted.

    BETA 10, BZ482, BETA 16,BD722 & BETA 25

    The engine serial number is stampedabove the fuel lift pump on thestarboard side of the engine, and isshown on the rocker cover label.

    INITIAL RECEIPT OF THE ENGINEA full inspection of the engine mustbe made immediately on delivery toconfirm that there is no damage. Ifthere is any damage then write thisclearly on the delivery note andinform your dealer or Beta Marinewithin 24 hours.

    ENGINE STORAGEThe engine must be stored in a dry,frost free area and this is best done inits packing case. If storage is to bemore than six months then theengine must be inhibited (contactyour dealer or Beta Marine). Failureto inhibit the engine may result in theformation of rust in the injectionsystem and the engine bores, thiscould invalidate the warranty.

    A Keep the engine, gearboxand surrounding area clean,including the area immediatelybelow the engine

    B DRIVES - Power Take OffAreas

    i) Gearbox Output Flange

    The purpose of a marine dieselpropulsion engine is to providemotive power to propel a vessel.Accordingly the gearbox outputshaft rotates at between 300 and2400 rev/min. This flange isdesigned to be coupled to apropeller shaft by the installer andsteps must be taken to ensureadequate guarding.

    ii) Forward End Drive

    Engines are supplied withunguarded vee belt drives topower the fresh water pump andbattery charging alternator. Theinstaller must ensure that it is notpossible for injury to occur byallowing accessibility to this areaof the engine. The three pulleysrun at high speed and can causeinjury if personnel or clothingcome in contact with the belts orpulleys, when the engine isrunning.

    iii) Power Take Off Shaft (Engine Mounted Option)

    Shaft extensions are available asan option and rotate at between850 and 3600 rev/min. Ifcontact is made with this shaftwhen the engine is running, injurycan occur.

    C EXHAUST OUTLET

    Diesel marine propulsion enginesemit exhaust gases at very hightemperatures - around 400-500°C. Engines are supplied witheither wet exhaust outlet (waterinjection bend) or dry outlet (dryexhaust stub) - see option list. At

    the outlet next to the heatexchanger/header tank, theexhaust outlet can become veryhot and if touched, can injure.This must be lagged or avoided byensuring adequate guarding. It isthe responsibility of the installer tolag the exhaust system if a drysystem is used. Exhaust gasesare harmful if ingested, theinstaller must therefore ensure thatexhaust lines are lead overboardand that leakage in the vesseldoes not occur.

    D FUEL

    i) Fuel Lines

    Diesel engines are equipped withhigh pressure fuel injectionpumps, if leakages occur, or ifpipes fracture, fuel at a highpressure can harm personnel.Skin must be thoroughly cleanedin the event of contact with dieselfuel.

    ii) Fuel Supply Connections

    Engines are supplied with 8 mmcompression fittings. The installermust ensure that whenconnections are made, they areclean and free of leaks.

    E OIL

    The Beta propulsion is suppliedwith 2 dipsticks, one for theengine and one for the gearbox.Ensure dipsticks are returned andsecure after checking, if not oilleaks can cause infection whentouched. All oil must be removedfrom the skin to prevent infection.

    F SCALDING

    An engine running under load willhave a closed circuit fresh watertemperature of 85° to 95°C. Thepressure cap on the top of theheat exchanger must not beremoved when the engine isrunning. It can only be removedwhen the engine is stopped andhas cooled down.

    G TRANSPORTATION/LIFTING

    Engines are supplied ontransportable pallets. Lifting eyeson engines are used for liftingengine and gearbox assemblyonly, not the pallet andassociated kit.

    GENERAL DECLARATION

    This machinery is not intended tobe put into service until it has beenincorporated into or with othermachinery. It is the responsibility ofthe purchaser/installer/owner, toensure that the machinery isproperly guarded and that allnecessary health and safetyrequirements, in accordance withthe laws of the relevant country, aremet before it is put into service.

  • INITIAL STARTUP ANDBLEEDING THE SYSTEM(a) Open fuel bleed screw on

    injection pump by 11/2 turns. Seediagram 1a.

    (b) Move hand priming lever on fuellift pump up and down until fuelwith no bubbles comes out of thebleed screw.

    (c) Shut/tighten the bleed screw.Clean area thoroughly with tissuepaper.

    (d) Continue to hand prime for 30seconds to push fuel through thefuel pump.

    (e) Start engine (see normal starting).

    Note the engine may have to beturned over with the starter for afew seconds before it fires. Donot run the starter for more than20 seconds. If the engine has notstarted after 20 seconds thendisengage the starter andcontinue to hand prime for afurther 30 seconds, then repeat.

    (f) If engine does not start after 3attempts then allow 5 minutes forthe starter to cool down beforerepeating (a) to (e).

    Note: The starter windings canbe burnt out with continuouscranking

    CAUTION

    To avoid personal injury:• Do not bleed a hot engine as this

    could cause fuel to spill onto a hotexhaust manifold creating a dangerof fire.

    • Do not mix gasoline or alcoholwith diesel fuel. This mixture cancause an explosion.

    • Do not get diesel on the flexiblemounts – they will deterioraterapidly if soaked in diesel.

    • All fuel must be removed from skinto prevent infection.

    SECTION 1GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION OF ENGINE

    IMPORTANT CHECKS PRIORTO INITIAL USE1. Generally, a new engine has the

    oil and anti-freeze removed afterthe works test. Fill the enginewith the correct oil and anti-freeze (see sections on ENGINEOIL and COOLING). Checkgearbox oil level - see separateoperator’s hand book.

    2. Ensure the engine is free to turnwithout obstructions.

    3. Ensure battery is fully chargedand connected (the isolator is in

    the ‘ON’ position).

    4. Ensure Morse speed and gearboxcables are fitted correctly and thatcable travel lengths are correct.Gear selection lever –allmechanical gearboxes: care mustbe taken to ensure that theremote control cable is adjustedso that the selector lever on thegearbox moves FULL travel andbrought “hard up” against its endstop in both directions. Failure toachieve the correct adjustmentwill reduce efficiency of theclutch and may cause slippage at

    low revs. Warranty will not beaccepted on gearboxes returnedin the warranty period for failuredue to incorrect adjustment.

    5. Ensure engine is out of gear with1/3 throttle - see single levercontrol instruction manual.

    6. Open the fuel stopcock and bleedthe fuel water separator of air asshown in manufacturersliterature.

    7. Fuel should now be at the fuel liftpump, see diagram 1a.

    8. Open the sea cock.

    STOPPINGEvery propulsion engine is fitted with astop solenoid which is energised tostop. To stop engine simply press stoppush button, hold in until enginestops, then turn key from ‘RUN’ to‘OFF’ position.

    When leaving the boat for an extendedperiod,• Turn off sea-cock (heat exchanger

    cooled engines).• Turn off battery isolator.Do not turn the key to the offposition when the engine is running.This will not allow the alternator tocharge.*WARNINGDo not leave the key in ‘HEAT’ positionfor more than 15 seconds - this willdamage the heater plugs and eventuallylead to poor starting.

    Do not depress stop button for morethan 10 seconds as this will lead tooverheating and failure of the solenoid.

    NOTES FOR ALL PANEL TYPES:

    Do not depress the stop button formore than ten seconds as this willlead to overheating and failure of thesolenoid.

    The Mini range of engines areequipped with a mechanical stop leverin the event of electrical system failure.This lever is located on the starboardside of the engine above the speedcontrol lever. See illustration below:

    Stop leverStop lever

    Speed leverSpeed lever

    NORMAL STARTING (ALL BETAPANELS WITH SILVER KEYSWITCH)

    With the engine out of gear, set speedcontrol lever to 1/3 throttle. Turn keyanti-clockwise to HEAT* (A) positionand hold for ten seconds, turn keyclockwise to RUN (C) position. At thisstage the instrument panel shouldilluminate, an alarm buzzer will soundand two (or three*) red warning lightswill illuminate:

    STARTER BATTERY CHARGE

    DOMESTIC BATTERY CHARGE* (Din battery symbol - AB & C PANELSONLY)

    *(Note: this will only illuminate if 2ndalternator is fitted)

    OIL PRESSURE and green POWERON / RUN LIGHT (this will stay on)

    Turn to START(D) position andengine willmotor, hold inposition untilengine fires (seeinitial start-upsection for maximum time starter canbe used).

    Release key (when engine has started)to RUN position. Ensure alarm buzzeris not sounding and that warninglights are extinguished. If one or bothof the alternator warning lights are stillon, then increase engine speed toexcite the alternator - then return toidle. The battery charge lights shouldthen go out. The run light will remainon (green LED).

    Note: for panels without keyswitchessee seperate instruction sheet (page 24).

    SECTION 2MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

    DAILY OR EVERY 8 HOURSRUNNING

    • Check engine oil level.• Check gearbox oil level.• Check coolant level.• Check battery fluid.• Check drive belt tension• Ensure raw water inlet strainer is

    clear.• Check stern gland lubrication.• Drain off any water in fuel water

    separator.

    AFTER THE FIRST 25 HOURSRUNNING

    • Change gearbox lubricant (Seeseparate gearbox manual).

    • Check that all external nuts, boltsand fastenings are tight. See tablefor torque values. Special attentionshould be paid to the flexiblemount lock nuts, these should bechecked for tightness, startingwith lower nut first in each case.If the lower nuts are found to bevery loose, then the alignment ofthe shaft to the gearbox halfcoupling should be re-checked.Poor alignment due to looseflexible mount nuts will causeexcessive vibration and knocking.

    • Check the belt tension on anysecond alternators fitted andadjust –see page 11

    • Check ball joint nyloc nuts fortightness on both gearbox andspeed control levers. Grease bothfittings all over.

    AFTER FIRST 50 HOURS

    • Change engine lubricating oil.

    • Change oil filter.

    • Check for leaks on header tanktubestack. Tighten end cap bolt ifrequired.

    • Drain off any water in fuel/waterseparator.

    EVERY 150 HOURS

    • If shallow sump (option) is fitted,change engine lubricating oil andfilter.

    EVERY YEAR -OR EVERY 250HOURS IF SOONER

    • Change engine lubricating oil(standard sump)

    • Change lubricating oil filter • Check air cleaner element• Check sea water pump impeller

    and change if worn.• Check wasting anode condition,

    replace when necessary. In someenvironments this may be 6montly or less.

    • Remove heat exchanger tubestack, by undoing the bolt eachend of the tube stack. Removeend cover, pull out tube stack andclean. Replace rubber ‘O’ ringsand re-assemble. Immediatelyengine is started check for leaks.

    • Spray the key switch with WD40or equivalent to lubricate thebarrel.

    • Check that all external nuts, boltsand fastenings are tight. See tablefor torque values.

    • Check ball joint nyloc nuts fortightness on both gearbox andspeed control levers. Grease bothfittings all over.

    EVERY 750 HOURS

    • As every 250 hours plus thefollowing:-

    • Change air cleaner element.• Change fuel filter.• Change antifreeze.• Change gearbox oil.• Check electrical equipment,

    condition of hoses and belts,replace as necessary.

    Engine oil: Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104C or have properties of APIclassification CC/CD/CE grades. Thefollowing table gives grades of oilrequired for various ambienttemperatures.

    Note: A good quality 15W/40mineral or multigrade oil as used inmost diesel car engines will meetthese requirements. Do not use‘Turbo Diesel Oil’ or additives.

    CHECKING ENGINE OILLEVEL

    For quantities of oil required seesection marked ‘TechnicalSpecification’, Page 4When checking the engine oil level,do so before starting, or more thanfive minutes after stopping.

    1. To check the oil level, draw outthe dipstick, wipe it clean, re-insert it, and draw it out again.Check to see that the oil level liesbetween the two notches.

    2. If the level is too low, add new oilto the specified level - Do notoverfill,

    IMPORTANT

    When using an oil of different makeor viscosity from the previous one,drain old oil. Never mix two differenttypes of oil. Engine oil should bechanged after first 50 hours runningtime and then every year or every250 hours if sooner. Oil filter is acartridge type mounted on the portside of the engine.

    (1) Run the engine for 10 minutes towarm up the oil.

    (2) Your engine is provided with asump drain pump (option onBeta Ten, see note below).Unscrew the end cap on theend of the pump (if fitted),turn the tap to ‘on’. Use thehand pump as shown topump out the oil into abucket. Turn the tap to offposition and replace endcap. See diagram 2c.

    (3) Unscrew the oil filter andreplace with a new one. Seediagram 2d.

    Note: It is best to have aplastic bag wrapped roundthe filter to catch any oil leftin the system. (Always keepyour bilges clean!) Beforescrewing in the new filterspread a thin film of oilround the rubber gasket toensure a good seal andscrew in – hand tight.

    Note: On the Beta Ten not fitted witha sump drain pump the engine oilmust be drained off by unscrewingthe sump drain plug (see diagram100-00030 at rear of book). This is

    best done with the oil filler capremoved. Replace the plug andtighten firmly.

    (4) Fill the engine with new oil asdescribed above.

    CHECKING GEARBOX OIL LEVEL

    (1) The gearbox is fitted with adipstick and oil filler plug, see fig2e.

    (2) Each engine is supplied with agearbox operators manual whichspecifies the type of lubricatingoil to be used, the capacity andfrequency of changing of the oil.

    (3) New engines are normallysupplied with the gearbox topped up with lubricant butCheck the level before starting the engine for the firsttime.

    (4) The oil can be changed via thedrain plug at the bottom of the

    box or sucked out with a handpump via the filler plug.

    (5) A guide to the type of oil to beused is as follows:

    IMPORTANT

    • Always fit a fuel/water separatorin the fuel supply system. Waterin the fuel can seriously damagethe injection system.

    • If a fuel supply shutoff valve isfitted do not use a taper tap, onlyuse a ball valve tap. The ballvalve type are more reliable andless likely to let air into the fuelsystem.

    • Be sure to use a strainer whenfilling the fuel tank. Dirt or sandin the fuel may cause trouble inthe fuel injection pump.

    • Always use diesel fuel.

    • Do not use kerosene which isvery low in cetane rating, andadversely affects the engine.

    • Be careful not to let the fuel tankbecome empty, or air can enterthe fuel system, necessitatingbleeding before next engine start.

    • The fuel lift pump will only liftfuel through 0.25 metres. If thisis insufficient then an electric fuellift pump must be fitted.

    FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT

    1. The fuel filter is a spin on type.Remove by turning anti-clockwisewhen viewed from below.

    2. Replace the fuel filter cartridgeevery 750 hours. See fig. 2g.

    3. Apply fuel oil thinly over thegasket and tighten into position -hand tight.

    4. Bleed as detailed - see initial start up.5. Check for leaks.6. Do not get fuel on the flexible

    mounts.

    Keel Cooled -Note efficient cooling tanks are sidemounted, see page 31

    COOLING

    The Mini Series range of engines arenormally fresh water cooled. Thiswater circulates through the engineand on to a heat exchanger where itis cooled by sea water which ispumped through the cooling tubes.The sea water is then injected intothe exhaust system (see diagram‘heat exchanger cooled’ below).

    KEEL COOLING is an option. In thissystem the freshwater is pumpedthrough the engine and then througha cooler built into the side of the boatwhere it is cooled by heat transferbefore returning to the engine .

    The ideal keel cooling tank shouldhave:

    a. Baffle continuously welded toouter skin and close fitting oninner skin

    b. Be thin in section to allow goodmixing of the water over the coolouter surface.

    c. Air bleed valves should be fittedon both ends. (See page 30).

    FILLING THE FRESHWATER SYSTEM

    New engines are supplied with thefreshwater drained off. The followinginstructions must be followed to fillthe system.

    (a) Mix up in a clean bucket a 30 to50% antifreeze to freshwatersolution. For the volume requiredsee technical specification page 4.

    (b) Check that the drain tap or plugis turned off. (see fig 2l) (NoteBZ482 and B10 engines withsump drain pump are fitted witha plug).

    (c) Fill engine with freshwater/antifreeze solution through the top ofthe heat exchanger or headertank with the filler cap removed.(see fig 2m).

    (d) Fill header tank to the top of thefiller neck and replace cap. Press

    down firmly on filler cap andhand tighten in a clockwisedirection.

    Note: For keel cooled engines amuch larger quantity offreshwater/anti-freeze solution isrequired depending on the size of thekeel cooling tank – refer to thebuilder.

    (e) Run the engine for 5 minutes onno load (out of gear) and checkcoolant level. Top up asnecessary.

    (f) Check system for leaks.

    Note: For keel cooled engines itis very important to bleed all theair out of the system before theengine is run on load (check withbuilder’s instructions).

    (g) If a calorifier is fitted care mustbe taken to see that this is alsofull of coolant and all the air isexpelled. (See calorifier fittingnotes under Section 3).

    (h) Run the engine on one third loadfor 15 minutes, preferably withthe boat tied up. As the systemwarms up coolant may beexpelled from the overflow pipeinto the bilge. Stop the engineand allow the engine to cooldown before removing thepressure cap and top up thecoolant to 1” below the fillerneck.

    Heat Exchanger Cooled

    Fig. 2m

    YACHTS AND LAUNCHESWITH HEAT EXCHANGERCOOLING

    It is essential that a 33% to 50%anti-freeze/water mixture is used.This not only stops freezing up inwinter, but it prevents overheatingand corrosion.

    The warranty is invalid unless thecorrect ratio is used.

    CANAL BOATS WITH KEELCOOLER A 33% anti-freeze to water mixture isrecommended to give protectionagainst very cold winter temperature ofminus 15°C. This anti-freeze will alsogive the engine internal protectionagainst corrosion. For keel cooledengines the total system capacity mustbe taken into consideration, ie enginevolume plus skin tank/keel coolervolume.

    Concentration of ethylene should notexceed 50%.

    The anti-freeze in the fresh watersystem enables the boiling point ofwater to rise to 124°C with a 13 psipressure cap fitted. The watertemperature alarm switch will howeverbe activated at 95° to 100°C. If noanti-freeze or a very weak solution isused, then the water temperatureswitch may not be activated beforecoolant is lost.

    IMPORTANT

    Removal of the pressure cap whenthe engine is hot can cause severeinjury from scalding hot water underpressure. Always allow the engine tocool and then use a large cloth whenturning the cap anti-clockwise to thestop. This allows the pressure to bereleased. Press firmly down on thecap and continue to turnanticlockwise to release the cap.

    (i) Repeat (h) ifcoolant level is more than 1 inchbelow the base of the filler neckwhen the engine has cooleddown.

    (j) Run engine on 2/3 full load for20 minutes, check for leaks andrepeat (i).

    (k) Anti-freeze solutions should bedrained off every 2 years andreplaced with a new solution.

    Note: When draining fresh watersystem, ensure the engine has cooledsufficiently to prevent scalding fromhot pressurised water. Prior todraining a cold engine, remove thefiller cap from the header tank andthen open the water drain tap. Thisallows the water to drain freely fromthe system.

    SEA WATER PUMP AND COOLING SYSTEM - (Heat exchanger-cooled engines)

    CAUTION

    Before working on the sea watersystem ensure that the sea cock isin the off position.

    (1) It is very important that thecorrect sea water flow ismaintained to cool the closedcircuit system of the engine. Thekey component in this system isthe sea water pump impeller.This should be checked everyyear by removing the circularplate (see fig. 2h)

    (2) Withdraw the rubber impellerfrom its drive shaft as shown.See diagram 2i.

    (3) Check impeller for cracks in therubber, excessive wear or lostvanes. Replace with a newimpeller as necessary.

    Note: If any pieces of rubberimpeller are missing then they mustbe found as they are most likely to betrapped in the entrance to the heatexchanger cooling stack. See‘Cleaning Tube Stack’.

    Fig. 2h

    CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE STACK AND REPLACING WASTING ZINC ANODE

    (1) The wasting zinc anode shouldbe checked every six months andreplaced every year or asnecessary. The anode is attachedto the bolt inserted in the aft endcap of the heat exchanger. Seefig. 2j.

    (2) Unscrew the bolt and replace thecomplete unit with a new one.

    (3) Check for leaks.

    (4) It is possible for fine sea weedand other debris to get past theinlet filter and into the tube stack.This should be removed andcleaned. See fig. 2k.

    (5) Drain off coolant into a bucket.

    (6) Unscrew the 2 end cap retainingbolts (one each end of the tubestack). Remove the ‘O’ rings andpull out tube stack. Clean tubestack and end caps.

    (7) Re-assemble using new ‘O’ rings.Do not overtighten end cap boltsand make sure the tube stack isthe right way round.

    (8) Re-fill engine with water/anti-freeze solution and run engine upto temperature to check for leaks.

    WARNING

    Belt tension must only be checkedwith the engine switched off.

    (1) The Mini Series range of enginesare normally fitted with a singlebelt to drive the 40 amp batterycharging alternator and the freshwater circulating pump.

    (2) The belt tension is adjusted byswinging the alternator outboardas it pivots on its power supportbolt.

    (3) With the engine stopped, loosenthe support bolts and the linkadjusting bolt.

    (4) Push alternator outboard totension and tighten link bolt.

    Check that the depression of thebelt at position shown isapproximately 1/2” or 12 mmwhen pushed down firmly bythumb. Tighten support bolts.

    (5) Belt tension should be regularlychecked especially during the first20 hours of running in a newbelt, as stretching occurs.

    WARNING

    Under NO circumstances should thebattery be disconnected or switchedoff when the engine is running. Thiswill seriously damage the alternator

    PANELS AND WIRING

    See installation notes, page 32.

    GENERAL MAINTENANCE

    (1) The panel must be protectedfrom rain and sea water, seeinstallation. Sea water enteringthe key switch will eventuallycause corrosion and could resultin the starter motor beingpermanently energised andburning out. Spray key switchevery month with WD 40 orequivalent.

    (2) Check batteries for acid level and

    top up if required. For lowmaintenance and ‘gel’ batteriessee manufacturers instructions.

    (3) Loose spade terminalconnections are the mostcommon cause for electricalfaults - check on a regular bases(see maintenance instructions).

    WINTERISING AND LAYING UP

    HEAT EXCHANGER COOLEDENGINES LEFT AFLOAT ANDASHORE

    (a) The engine oil and oil filtershould be changed at the end ofthe season rather than in thespring. See section 2.

    (b) The closed circuit system shouldcontain a 50/50 solution of anti-freeze (this also applies to warmand tropical climates). Antifreezeshould be Ethylene Glycl basedconforming to BS6580:1992.

    (c) For cold climates where the airor water temperatures can fallbelow 3°C, the sea water circuitmust be protected in addition tothe fresh water system. This isbest achieved as follows:

    (i) Close the inlet seacock to theengine (engine stopped).

    (ii) Disconnect the sea waterinlet pipe and dip it into a smallbucket containing 50/50 anti-freeze solution.

    (iii) Start the engine (out of gear)and run for 5 to 10 seconds untilthe anti-freeze is used up andcan be seen coming out of theexhaust outlet.

    (iv) Shut engine off andreconnect the inlet pipe to theseacock.

    The sea water or raw watercircuit is now protected by anti-freeze.

    (d) Ensure instrument panel is wellprotected and give the key switcha spray of WD 40 or equivalent.

    (e) With the engine stopped,disconnect the battery (alwaysdisconnect the negative cable firstand re-connect the negativecable last) and take it ashore fortrickle charging and top up asnecessary. If AC power isavailable then this can be doneon the boat.

    (f) Fuel tanks should be kept fullduring the lay up period toeliminate water condensation inthe tank. Water entering the fuelinjection system can causeconsiderable damage.

    LAYING UP ASHORE

    LAYING UP CANAL BOATS WITH KEEL COOLING

    Follow items a, b, d, e and f. Item(c) does not apply. Special caremust be taken to ensure that thewhole cooling system has a 30%anti-freeze solution and this includesthe calorifier circuit.

    If the system has been topped up orrefilled then run the engine for 10 to15 minutes on load (if possible) toget the solution circulated throughoutthe cooler and calorifier.

    (a) Change the engine oil before theboat is taken out of the water.

    Warm engine oil is much easierto pump than cold!

    (b) to (f) should be followed asabove.

    The most common cause ofoverheating is insufficient seawaterflow due to a blocked intake (weedor a plastic bag!). If this happensthen clear the blockage. If theproblem is not cured then check thesystem for sea water flow whichshould be 6.5 litres / minuteminimum at 1,000 rpm as follows:

    (a) With the boat tied up and out ofgear run the engine up to 1000 rpm.*Hold a plastic bucket over the

    exhaust outlet for 10 seconds andmeasure the amount of watercollected. Multiply this value by 6 togive the flow in litres/min. Repeattwice and take an average. If the flowrate is noticably less than the 6.5litre per minute minimum, then:

    (b) Check impeller in sea waterpump - if worn replace.

    (c) If impeller has a vane missingthen this will be lodged either in the

    pipe to the heat exchanger or in theend of the exchanger. This must beremoved.

    (d) Check flow again as in (a).

    *Note: This operation must only bedone in safe conditions, in port andwith two assistants.

    Working from a rubber dinghy isbest. The person holding the bucketshould take precautions againstbreathing in the exhaust gasses.

    Possible Cause Solution

  • The following chart is compiled to aiddiagnosis of electrical faults, based onthe Beta 10-90hp range of engines. Ifyour engine was built before July2005, contact Beta Marine for therelevant electrical trouble shootingguide.

    Standard sea specification engines(heat exchanger cooled) are suppliedwith a single alternator, mounted portside, supplying power to starter batteryand control panel.

    Standard canal specification engines(keel cooled) are supplied with twinalternators:

    • 1st alternator, mounted port side,supplying power to starter batteryand control panel

    • 2nd alternator, the standardmounting position for this is abovethe engine on the starboard side(or below 1st alternator on 75 &90hp), supplying power to thedomestic battery system.

    Both of these alternators workindependently, if the domestic batterysystem is disconnected, the enginewill still run correctly but:

    • Domestic charge warning lampwill not function

    • Warning buzzer will remain on atall times

    Standard control panels are suppliedwith four or five lamps:

    Four lamp panels:A, ABV, ABVW, B these panels utilisebulbs inside sealed lamp holders

    Five lamp panels:AB and C, these panels also utilisebulbs inside sealed lamp holders,having an additional lamp fordomestic battery charge

    With keyswitch* in run position &engine off:

    • Red lamp for no starter batterycharge should function

    • Red lamp for no domestic batterycharge should function (Note: thiswill only function if a secondalternator is fitted to the engineand connected to a chargedbattery)

    • Red lamp for high enginetemperature should not function(when engine is cold / cool /warm). This lamp will only everfunction if the engine is overtemperature.

    • Red lamp for low oil pressureshould function

    • Green lamp for panel power onshould function

    • Buzzer should sound

    * For operation of engines controlledwith keyless panels refer to ‘correctoperation of keyless panels’ later inthis section

    When the engine is started, all the redwarning lamps should switch offleaving just the green power onindication lamp illuminated. The oilpressure lamp may take a fewseconds to switch off and the chargefail lamp may remain on until enginerpm is increased to approximately1,000rpm if the engine was started attickover).

    Before investigating any specificelectrical problem, always check:

    • Connection between panelharness and panel loom. It mustbe clean, dry and secured with acable tie.

    • Check the start battery isconnected to the correct terminalon the starter motor.

    • Check the domestic battery isswitched on and connected to thecorrect terminals for the 2ndalternator.

    • Battery connections, inspectingcondition of cables from battery toengine. If in doubt measure thevoltage at the engine.

    • If alternator charge problem,measure battery voltage withengine off and again with enginerunning, if there is an increasealternator is functioning correctly, ifnot refer to check list.

    Note: The two way plug on panelloom will only have a correspondingsocket to connect into from the engineif a 2nd alternator is fitted whichrequires this connection. Engines withonly one alternator do not utilise thisconnection.

    • Small brown wire (battery sensedalternator feed) fitted with bulletconnection beside harness plug.

    • Oil pressure & water temperatureswitch / senders fitted to engine,requiring individual connectionsfor driving gauges & warninglamps.

    Note: Water temperature switch / sender (Part number 200-01133)

    • large spade is sender connection (green / blue)

    • small spade is switch connection (blue / yellow)

    • G Gauge wire (white / brown)

    • M Earth (black)

    • WK Warning lamp (green / yellow)

    ELECTRICAL FAULT FINDING –EXTENSION HARNESSESSome installations require one of thepanel extensions 11 way connectorsto be removed to allow the cable tobe passed through bulkheads etc. Ifany panel problems are experiencedafter this may have been carried out,visually check all 11 wayconnections on engine harness to

    panel extension (and panel extensionto panel on C deluxe) to ensure wirecolours to each terminal match up tothe correct colour in its correspondingterminal. Extra attention must begiven to black (ground) andblack/blue (tacho), also brown(switched positive to alternator) and

    brown/yellow (charge fail) as theseconnections are harder to distinguishbetween in poorly lit areas. Whilstdoing this check integrity of eachconnection to ensure terminals havenot become damaged. Oncechecked, re-fit cable tie around eachconnection to keep them secure.

    ELECTRICAL – CORRECT OPERATION OF KEYLESS PANELS

    These panels control the engine withthree water resistant push buttonsinstead of a keyswitch, which are lessprone to damage and corrosion fromsea water spray than a keyswitch.To operate the engine:1. Press and hold ‘HEAT’ button for

    ten seconds maximum• Red lamp for no starter battery

    charge should function• Red lamp for high engine

    temperature should not function(when engine is cold / cool /warm). This lamp will only everfunction if the engine is overtemperature.

    • Red lamp for low oil pressureshould function

    • Green lamp for panel power onshould function

    • Buzzer should sound2. Press ‘START’ button and hold in

    position until engine fires (seeinitial start-up section formaximum time starter can beoperated). Release button (whenengine has started)

    • All red warning lamps shouldextinguish and buzzer should stopsounding. The oil pressure lampmay take a few seconds to switchoff and the charge fail lamp mayremain on until engine rpm isincreased to approximately1,000rpm if the engine wasstarted at tickover.

    • Green lamp for panel power onshould still function

    3. To stop the engine press the‘STOP’ push button, hold in untilengine stops. This button alsoswitches the power off to thegauges, engine and power onlamp.

    4. To re-start the engine, simplyrepeat steps from ‘1’ above, thereis not need to switch batteryisolators off whilst remaining onboard.

    5. If leaving the boat, isolate startbattery from engine and panel, toprevent accidental start up ofengine.

    Section 3INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONSThe installation details contained herewith are basic guidelines to assist installation, due to great diversity of marine craft it isimpossible to give definitive instructions. Therefore Beta Marine can accept no responsibility for any damage or injury incurredduring the installation of a Beta Marine Engine whilst following these guidelines.

    To ensure vibration free operation, theengine must be installed on substantialbeds, extending as far forward and aftas possible and well braced to form anintegral part of the hull.

    The engine must be installed as low aspossible on the flexible mount pillarstud. This will limit vibration andextend the life of the flexible mount. Ifnecessary, fit spacer blocks below themounts.

    A flexible coupling should be fitted.Flexible couplings do not accommodatebad alignment. The mating faces of thegearbox and tailshaft must be checkedfor alignment, they must be paralleland concentric to within 0.005”(0.127mm).

    ALIGNMENT Alignment must be checked forparallel (A) and concentric (B)misalignment using a set of feelergauges. To obtain accurate alignmentthe flexible mountings must beadjusted until alignment is attained,and the mountings must be locked inposition. Once mounts are tightened,alignment must be re-checked.Coupling can now be fitted inaccordance with instructions suppliedwith coupling.

    WARNING1. Do not set the engine feet high up

    the flexible mount pillar stud. Thiswill cause excessive enginemovement and vibration. Packunder the flexible mount with steelshims securely bolted into theengine bearer.

    2. The pillar stud on the flexiblemount is secured into position bythe lower locknut, do not forget totighten this. Also ensure that thestud is not screwed too far throughthe mounting body so that it cantouch the bearer. This will causevibration and knocking noiseswhich are very hard to find!!

    If a rope cutter is fitted, allow approximately 1/2”Û for movement of engine, seemanufacturer’s literature

    WARNING:

    (1) One of the most commonproblems with engine installation iswater entering the exhaust manifoldfrom the exhaust system bysyphoning. This can occur when thepoint of water injection (X) on theengine is close to or below the waterline. Water entering the pistons cancause bent con rods, emulsified

    engine oil and a wrecked fuel pump!Its best avoided!

    (2) The diagram shows a typicalinstallation. It is essential that thesmall black rubber hose connectingthe heat exchanger with the injectionbend is removed and replaced by ahose marked ‘a’. This must be ofsufficient length to

    supply either a T piece or an antisyphon valve sited at least 300mm(12 inches) above the water line andon the centre line of the boat. Thepipe then returns to the injection bendand the sea water is pumped downthe exhaust pipe.

    (3) The exhaust back pressure shouldnot exceed 3.1 inches of Hg.

    (a) A correctly installed engine asdescribed in this handbook will meetthe exhaust emission requirements ofDirective 2003/44/EC amending theRecreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC.

    (b) For compliance with exhaustemissions requirements, engines musthave correctly installed exhaustsystems. To ensure exhaust emissionsare kept within permissible limits it ismost important to reduce exhaustback pressure to a minimum, whilstensuring exhaust is adequatelymuffled. Back pressure increases asexhaust length increases and from

    bends in the exhaust system. Theexhaust back pressure, measured withthe exhaust system connected and theengine running at full speed, must notexceed 80mmHg (3.1 inches Hg / 42inches WG). The correct measuringpoint is at the

    position where the exhaust connectsto the exhaust manifold. That is beforethe water injection elbow or dryexhaust bellows.

    Wet Exhaust hose should be matchedto the injection bend sizes detailedabove.

    The exhaust system installed in acanal boat or work boat with a dryexhaust should be 11/2” minimum ID.The engine is fitted with a 11/2” BSP maleconnector when a dry exhaust system isspecified. A flexible exhaust bellows anddry exhaust silencer should be used. It isup to the installer to work out his ownpipe run but care should be taken asfollows:

    (1) Ensure that rain water cannotenter the exhaust port and runback down the system, floodingthe silencer and eventually theengine.

    (2) The system should be lagged ifthere is any danger of the crewgetting near it.

    (3) A dry exhaust system will give offconsiderable heat and suitableventilation must be provided.

    SEAWATER INLET SYSTEM (HEAT EXCHANGER COOLED ENGINES)

    Notes:

    1. The mechanical fuel lift pump isfitted to all engines as standard,but if a suction head of 0.25m isrequired then an electric fuel liftpump must be fitted (ask yourdealer or Beta Marine).

    2. It is very important that theexcess fuel from the injectors isfed back to the fuel tank and notback to any point on the supply

    line. This will help prevent airgetting into the system.

    4. Any fuel leaks in the system arelikely to cause poor starting anderratic running and must becorrected immediately.

    5. A fuel/water separator must beinstalled.

    6. The fuel return (leak off) pipemust loop down to be level with

    the bottom of the tank before itenters the top of the tank - see12. This prevents fuel ‘draindown’.

    7. Fuel lines and hoses must besecured and separated orprotected from any source ofsignificant heat. The filling,storage, venting and fuel supplyarrangements and installationsmust be designed and installed soas to minimise the risk of fire andexplosion. Flexible fuel hosesconnecting the engine to fuel tanksupply and return lines must meetthe requirements set in standardISO 7840:1995/A1:2000 and asrequired by your surveyor /authority.

    3. Fuel pipe sizes are: Supply (mm) Leak off (mm)

    Beta 10 8 8

    BZ482 / Beta 16 8 8

    BD722 / Beta 25 8 8

    Your engine is fitted with a geardriven sea water pump which sucksin seawater or raw water to cool theclosed circuit system via the heatexchanger.

    1. It is very important that theseawater inlet should have astrainer system either built intothe sea cock or a high levelsystem with visual inspectionglass, as shown, mounted justabove the water line.

    Water Level

    2. The inlet sea cock and pipe workto the sea water pump should be22mm ID or 3/4” minimum.

    3. Good access to the inlet seacockis essential so that plastic bags orsea weed trapped in the intakecan be poked out!

    4. All pipe work should haveapproved marine grade stainlesssteel hose clips. Any looseclamps or bad connections can

    cause flooding and sinking of thevessel.

    5. If water is required for stern tubelubrication then this should betaken from a ‘T’ piece in the pipegoing from the heat exchangeroutlet to the water injection bend.

    6. Scoop type water pickups shouldnever be used, as water will beforced through the pump andinto the exhaust system whilst

    the vessel is in motion. This isvery dangerous as the exhaustwill eventually fill and raw waterwill back up into the enginethrough the exhaust valve.Catastrophic failure will result assoon as the engine is restarted.

    Note: The maximum lift of the seawater pump is 2m

  • 31

    Also check to see if the pipegoing to the calorifier is gettingwarm after 15 minutes.Top upthe water level as required andrun for another 10 minutes thenrepeat.

    4. If the water level is steady but nowarm water is getting to the

    calorifier then very carefully openthe calorifier bleed valve (seemanufacturers instructions) or ifnone is provided then verycarefully loosen the jubilee clipsecuring the supply pipe to thecalorifier . Air should escape.Refasten securely when nofurther bubbles are seen.

    CAUTION

    Do not do this when the engine ishot as scalding hot water may beforced out of the pipe under pressure.

    KEEL COOLED

    1. The supply pipe to the keelcooler should be 22mm boreand the return 22mm bore.

    2. The tank size should have asurface area (x) exposed to thesea water or canal water of (0.25x the bhp of the engine) = sq ftof cooling area required. Forcanal boats this should beadequately baffled and a ventprovided to expel any air. Thesupply (hot water) goes in at thetop of the tank and the returncomes out of the bottom. Alsorefer to cooling tank notes onpage 10.

    (1)

    Baffle continuously welded toouter skin and close fitting oninner skin.

    (2) The tank should be thin insection to allow good mixing of

    the water over the cool outer surface.

    (3) Air bleed valves should be fittedboth ends.

    IDEAL KEEL COOLING TANK

    CALORIFIER SYSTEMAll Beta engines can be fitted withthe engine tappings to allow the hotwater from the closed freshwater/antifreeze system to circulatethrough a calorifier tank which inturn heats up domestic water.

    Calorifier tappings on this range ofengine are shown below.

    1. The big problem with a calorifieris to remove all the air from thesystem. If this is not achievedthen they don’t work!

    2. Try and keep the supply andreturn pipes a and b eitherhorizontal or sloping down in acontinuous fall. This avoids airpockets being created.

    3. Extra care must be taken whenfirst filling the calorifier circuitsystem with 50% antifreeze towater solution as the engine mayappear to be full but it soondisappears into the calorifier pipework. Run the engine off load for10 minutes then check the levelas described in ‘Filling The FreshWater System’.

    ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

    Beta has 4 panels: A -standard

    AB or ABV or ABVW

    B

    C

    The engine harness is common toall.

    1. These panels must not beinstalled where sea water spraycan get at them. A suitable flapor cover must be fitted.

    2. Panels must be fitted in alocation where the helmsmancan either see or hear the alarmsystem.

    3. For standard wiring diagrams seefollowing pages.

    4. Extension looms longer than 3m(10 feet): As an option, Beta can

    provide various lengths ofextension looms for runs of over3m, but this kit includes a startrelay to overcome the voltagedrop. (See drawing 300-58520)

    5. All electrical equipment must beprotected from sea water. Seawater or rust in the starter willinvalidate the warranty.Care must be taken whenpushing the two halves of theplug together to ensure thatindividual pins do not fall out. Toprevent corrosion and assist inassembly we recommend thatthe plug is packed withpetroleum jelly (Vaseline) andthen carefully pushed together.The plastic boots should coverboth halves and overlap. A cabletie is then put around to hold thetwo halves in position and helpprevent any ingression of water.

    6. All cables must be adequatelyclipped and protected fromabrasion.

    7. Electrical systems shall bedesigned and installed so as toensure proper operation of thecraft under normal conditions ofuse and shall be such as tominimise risk of fire and electricshock.

    8. Attention shall be paid to theprovision of overload and short-circuit protection of all circuits,except engine starting circuits,supplied from batteries.

    9. Ventilation shall be provided toprevent the accumulation ofgases, which might be emittedfrom batteries. Batteries shall befirmly secured and protected fromingress of water

    KEYSWITCH TERMINATIONS

    The standard panel keyswitch can beused to tap off a switched positiveignition feed to power additionalgauges. In this way these gauges willonly be live whilst the engine isrunning, the engine is starting or theheaters are being used.

    For silver keyswitches, the terminal toachieve this ignition switched positiveis marked ‘AC’.

    For black keyswitches, the terminal toachieve this ignition switched positiveis marked ‘15/54’.For panels without any keyswitch,gauges can be driven from the 1mm2

    brown wire which teriminates at 11way connector terminal 4. This is alower power switched positive, anyadditional power required from thisconnection must be feed through arelay, as noted below.

    Note: these keyswitch terminals arerated at 10 amps maximum, sincethey are already utilised for panel andalternator feeds Beta Marinerecommend any additionalrequirements from these terminalsmust be fed through a relay. Thisrelay should then be connected to it’sown fused positive supply directly fromthe engine battery.

    Beta drawing 202-06421 illustratingthe wiring of a typical electric fuel liftpump with ignition switched relay canbe supplied upon request.
