Hi all. Been having this problem for a couple of years now. I have changed my fuel filters regularly and cleaned and pressure checked the aftercoolers. My motors are 6bta-m2 300 hp. It’s a 32 luhrs and props are 18×24 with a little cup. Not sure how much off hand. A well known prop shop tuned them beginning of last year. Seams like the turbos don’t really spool until 1800 plus rpms and some smoke clears up but I leave a trail of smoke under way. A lot more than any other diesel around. I do have air seps and tried not returning I to the air cleaner with no difference. Could the exhaust have build up before the turbo not letting proper boost or not enough air in motor room for proper mixture? The boat had 454s when built and was retrofit with the cummins way before I purchased. I’ve owned the boat for 6 years now and didn’t have this problem for the first few seasons. Any thoughts would help. Ty
