      July 26, 2019 at 3:34 pm Hi Guys, New to forum and need some help. I’m hoping you can help me out with a problem I am experiencing with my boat engine, Cummins 6BTA 12 valve 5.9 M2 EP-9 injection pump. The problem I’m having is with the port engine which fires up without hesitation and runs great up to about 1800 rpm at this point I can continue advancing the throttle but there is zero response, this all happens under load. In the neutral position the engine…

      January 19, 2017 at 8:08 am Years ago, following Tony’s recommendation, I hooked up fresh water flush fittings to my engine’s strainer and started flushing religiously. Within less than a year I noticed that the engine zincs were holding up much better; in fact after three years they are still going strong.

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but Iā€™ve tried multiple searches and cannot find the Tonyā€™s Tips article on fresh water flushing. Itā€™s referenced in the ā€œmarine ageā€ article but no link and I have had zero luck finding it. Are you looking for a “how-to” ? There is no such instruction as one size does not fit all. Many many variables with some of the key components being your seawa…
