Strange pieces

3 years ago July 16, 2020 at 9:54 am Last year I noticed these small pieces of ‘plastic’ under the front of the starboard engine, 1999 Cummins 6bta 5.9l 330hp. Nothing like this under the port engine. Port – #45766133 Starboard – #45764308 I cleaned them up and put in new absorbent pads and had new belts installed. I now see more pieces, the mechanic I use doesn’t know what they are. About to head out on an 8 week vacation and would like to know if…

ZF 80A filter replacement

3 years ago June 23, 2020 at 2:53 pm I thought changing my transmission oil/filter was going to be an easy job, however I don’t appear to be able to get the ‘plug’ back into the hole in the transmission. Everything online I’ve seen says just place in hole but the o-ring won’t fit. Do you have to fit the filter to the ‘plug’ before putting into the hole? Why is there a tighten and loosen component to this? Does the ‘plug’ com…

4 years ago March 9, 2020 at 10:23 am I purchased my ‘oil change’ pump from https://2k-pumps.com/ Specifically https://2k-pumps.com/marco-up3-oil-gear-pump-for-lubricating-oil-12-volt-16402012/ I see they are on sale for $207 at the moment. Much cheaper to purchase from Italy than USA distributor. They ship from Italy with $15 worldwide shipping cost. Very pleased with they customer service, considering purchasing a fresh water pump to replace existing noisy diaphr…

Impeller blades missing, an issue?
This topic has 4 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by
5 years ago September 27, 2018 at 4:00 pm I’ve just taken possession of boat with twin Cummins 6BTA 330HP engines. During the seatrial the Cummins rep had a look at the impellers and wouldn’t let us go out without replacing them, the port impeller was very chewed up and missing 4-5 blades. Sea-trial went well and engines go to WOT without issue, no smoke on start, ~700hrs. I asked the rep whether the rubber impeller blades would be an issue as they are now floating around…

I have maintenance plan scheduled for the winter season, it’s getting longer. I’ve been ‘grunting’ my way through your tips, very informative. Thanks.Last Post by:
