Generally great motors. I’ve been on a few 40 pc’s with these and they run well

Re: Cummins 6cta's
Nobody may realize this but that 8.3L engine has been around for a long while.
Over shadowed by the many & popular 4 & 6Bs.
The 8.3 in the QSC version outing up to 650 HP.
Other than that F%^&*ng SheetWood raw water pump, really a good engine.Last edited by Captain Ralph; 01-26-2024 at 12:54 PM.

With the drastic price reduction, the boat sold before he could see it. I felt that it was more boat than he wanted and he is not a wrench turner. If the head didn't work it would ruin the day. It's alot to take on for a first boat. Thanks for all opinions.

Seaboard Marine sells a much better seawater pump for Cummins B and C engines.

No kidding. One of my friends has Cat 3208s and I'll bet he rebuilds at least one SW pump yearly.
