Cummins Repower 6BTA 370HP

[Paul Lagasse]

Just got a boat (35′ Tiara) with twin Cummins 6BTA which had been repowered by Cummins Recon — the new engines have approximately 290 hours on them. I tried to use the Cummins Quickserve online to get parts for them but when I enter the S/N nothing comes up? FYI my serials are #60255953, #60255331. I have already replaced some of the ancillary equip surrounding the engines like the alternators, voltage regs, new start batteries (Optima) and am looking to find out how to tell if I need to replace the seawater pump(s). The guy I bought this from was very good at maintenance so I am thinking I am fine for a bit, but worry that these pumps may be the originals (which by now have at least 2000 hours on them). Does anyone know how to tell which part(s) get moved from old to recon engine?

Thanks
Paul

Recon’s should come with new pumps. Post some good pics of the pump(s).
