H y Tom & Phillip,
Thanks for your help, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m currently searching for my next boat. Prefer Cummins engines too. I’m just thinking ahead and would definitely want fresh water flush kits on my next one.
Regards,
Bobby

Thanks for your reply and the service info, good to know. Question about fresh water flush kits. Can they be ordered from Seaboard Marine?
Thanks,
Bobby

Tony,
I read your “Marine Age” article, it makes sense. Sounds like you’re saying that proper aftercooler, heat exchanger, sea water pump maintenance and fresh water flushing is the key to long engine life rather than focusing on engine hours. (please correct me if I’m wrong) I’m looking for my next boat and appreciate your tips.
Regards,
Bobby

Hey Tony,
Thanks for your reply. I’ll wait until I get access to the engine s/n.’s

Thanks for the reply. The description for the engines says 425 h.p. on one boat and 450 h.p. on the other. Both are same year. Does either of the h.p. sound correct?
Regards,
Bobby
