Engine and Mechanical Equipment
Mechanically, the new Viking 55 Convertible is peerless in construction and performance. Viking’s industry innovative powder-coated engine beds secured to dedicated intermediate bulkheads isolate torque and vibration to reduce engine noise and ensure drive-train alignment. The Delta-T engine room ventilation system incorporates supply and discharge fans for proper air supply and water intrusion suppression. A comprehensive gauge package, plus remote engine start/stop switches are accessible immediately inside the engine room access door. The centralized sea-water supply system saves weight and room by minimizing the necessary plumbing and hardware, yet maximizes delivery and capacity, while also providing redundancy. Valves and fittings are labeled, and chafe gear protects wiring and hoses where needed. Fiberglass hull side fittings reduce upkeep and add style. In addition to high-capacity bilge pumps, clean out pumps in the keel area, plus additional condensate pumps for the air conditioning and refrigeration systems help keep the bilge dry. All bilge areas are sealed with Awlgrip coatings for visibility and easier maintenance, as are brass thru-hull fittings in the engine room, lazarette and forward bilge areas. Twin 1550 hp.
