Exhaust sensor options
This topic has 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by
3 years ago May 21, 2020 at 6:19 pm I would like to install an exhaust temperature sensor for my 6bts. I’ve seen the borel band sensors and the smx one. I am completely new to doing this. What would you recommend and where should I mount it? If better photos are needed, please let me know. Thank you

5 years ago March 10, 2019 at 11:02 am Hi all, Im replacing the front seal on my 6bt. Im getting everything off and cleaned up then gonna have the boatyard reseal it so I know its done right. Got a small leak. I noticed rust on a pulley, looked at the tech stuff on the site and I guess its the water pump. Im thinking I should replace it?

5 years ago December 10, 2018 at 8:12 am Hi all, My 6bts take awhile to start. I know the wolverine heaters are ideal, but access to the bottom of my oil pan is just not there for them. What is the best alternative? Thank you

6BTA 5.9 Fuel Burn Table
This topic has 8 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by
5 years ago November 2, 2018 at 4:59 pm Hi all, I just joined as I recently closed on a boat with twin 6BTAs and I found this data sheet for fuel burn, but it seems very optimistic. https://www.sbmar.com/docs/performance-curves/6BTA%20%5B370,3000,2208,HO,Dec%2000,M-90034%5D.pdf Does anyone have real world fuel consumption at various rpms? I have speed and rpm for the boat from the sea trial, but Iām looking to match that with gph for fuel consumption. Thanks all.

I cruise at 2400 RPM, at around 25 MPH (I don’t use knots, sorry) Until my fuel dock was destroyed in Irma, i filled up every trip on the way home. I can’t give you burn numbers at cruise only, but my runs offshore usually put me in a combined avg burn rate of 1.4-1.7 MPG. Keep in mind I have short runs to fish…Last Post by:
