February 21, 2019 at 5:10 pm Hello – First, I apologize if this has been covered previously. I am getting close to purchase a 2000 Year boat with two 8.3 6CTA that did well during the engine survey. I come from an automotive manufacturing background and our quality system requires that we maintain a good set of spare parts for “key equipment”. On the boat, I have concluded that the engines are “key equipment”. I expect to take the boat to Ba…

January 23, 2019 at 9:07 pm Hello, Iām hoping to get some advice regarding a coolant leak that I noticed today while checking on my boat. I have a 1999 Formula 41pc fitted with twin Cummins 6CTA Diamonds. After the cold snap that we just had in Philadelphia I decided to check on the boat as it is on the hard for the winter. During my inspection in the engine room, I spotted engine coolant resting ontop of the port exhaust manifold. It appears to be coming from some type …

February 24, 2019 at 4:19 pm I finally had some free time to stop by the boat today and get the exhaust manifold cap gasket done. I got completely sidetracked and did the Aftercooler service but the whole purpose of this post was regarding the manifold cap gasket leaking. I started by draining about 3 gallons of coolant from the exhaust manifold. I was able to drain the mainifold by removing the bung plug on the turbo. I circled it in the picture. To ensure that the coolant…

October 29, 2018 at 10:32 am Hello everyone, I am new on the forum here and also new to Diesel power in general having just upgraded from a 1997 SeaRay 330DA with twin 7.4MPI to my 1999 Formula 41PC with twin Cummins 6CTA’s. I have been poking around the bilge getting familiar with everything and I keep focusing on the fact that both engines seem to be leaking oil as there are absorbent mats under them collecting the leaking oil. I replaced the mats with new ones to …
