    Cat 3176

    Is anyone familiar with the CAT 3176 engine ? It appears to be a straight 6 with output of approx 600hp .... any info
    I think it was replaced with the 3196.

    Not a good track record. Head and aftercooler problems. Read up on boatdiesel, tons of info.

    Look at Boatdiesel, as noted. There are allegations of a serious aftercooler issue floating around, and apparently, there's now a class-action lawsuit that has been spun off.

    I have absolutely no clue as to the merits of any of it, as I don't keep up on CAT products - do your dilligence.....
