Features & Benefits

Engine Design – Low profile for ease of installation and service. Replaceable wet cylinder liners offer longer life and lower rebuild cost. Gallery cooled pistons for maximum durability

Fuel System – Dependable Cummins PT fuel system can be operated mechanically or with CENTRY electronics for precise engine fueling. Step Timing Control (STC) allows for smooth engine acceleration under load

Cooling System – Keel cooled or engine mounted plate heat exchanger for reduced installation cost and less maintenance. Spin-on Cummins water treatment filters for protection against cooling system corrosion

Exhaust System – Dry exhaust manifold with water shielding for reduced fuel consumption and improved performance

Air System – Marine grade air filters with air inlet restriction indicator. Twin Cummins turbochargers optimized for marine usage

Lubrication System – Standard (114 L [30 gal]) or high capacity (185 L [49 gal]) marine grade oil pan. Cummins spin-on oil filter cartridge available for simplified service

Electronics – 24-volt standard electrical system with 12-volt option available. Marine grade wiring harness

Certifications – Complies with IMO Tier II emissions regulations. Certificates of compliance are available from the U.S. EPA and Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. Consult your local Cummins professional for a complete listing of current marine agency approvals for this engine
