diesel engine foundation
(OP)
Hello,
I'm refitting an open lifeboat. It is a fiberglas boat.
I have a question about the nessary dimenions of the foundation of the diesel engine.
I will be pleased if anyone will inform me about some 'standard calculations' about engine foundations.
Thanks in advance,
J de Keizer

RE: diesel engine foundation
He gives appropriate dimensions for _everything_ in a boat, in tables, graphs and equations based on a "Scantling Number", which is sort of a scalable measure of boat size. It's not an engineering text; think of it as a building code for boat structure.
