More Time on the Water. Less Downtime for Maintenance.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership. It’s a commonly held belief that boats are high maintenance, yet.
when your vessel is powered by a Cummins diesel, the truth is just the opposite. A recent analysis of routine maintenance practices on Cummins powered vessels, along with a meticulous review of the impact on performance, reliability and durability of our engines, has resulted in substantial increases in the recommended intervals for required maintenance on our marine diesel engines in both.
commercial and recreational use. That includes all Cummins QSB6.7, QSC8.3, QSL9 and QSM11 engines, regardless of model year. As you will see from the maintenance chart, virtually all of the
normal maintenance items are now extended out to a year or more if the hourly limit is not reached. Some procedures, such as the cooling system flush and vibration damper cleaning, need to be done only every four years or 2,000 hours. For most owners, that means that you simply do an annual checkup. The only exceptions to the list are the zinc anodes, which need to be
replaced every six months or 250 hours of operation. Having less downtime for engine maintenance means a lower total cost of ownership and an increase in the amount of time you can spend on the water.
