Cummins Tier 4 Engines for Marine
Mariners know best, so they choose the best.
The productivity of your marine operation largely depends on one factor: uptime. How much you get done — and when you get it done — can make or break your success. You need reliable power that not only gets the job done, but also keeps up with ever-changing emissions standards. With a combination of clean in-cylinder combustion and integrated Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment, the Cummins QSK38 and QSK60 engines meet both EPA Tier 4 Final and IMO Tier III emissions standards — without sacrificing one ounce of horsepower.
JUMP TO: The New Standard | Service & Warranty
The clean power of Cummins Tier 4 lets you get more done.
The New Standard
By adding SCR aftertreatment to our already-proven QSK series, you can invest time where it matters most: out on the water, not with a mechanic. Best of all, you won’t have to sacrifice one ounce of power.
QSK60
The base of the QSK60 uses components from the proven K19, K38 and K50 engines. A new steel piston with a PVD-coated top ring and a nitride-coated second ring provides excellent durability, withstands higher temperatures and meets stringent emission norms.
The easy-to-install QSK60 aftertreatment eliminates midlife overhauls, delays component change-out until full overhaul and supports 500+ hours of operation before a fuel filter change is needed. The upgrade also provides:
- Lower Tier 4 engine and aftertreatment initial cost
- Better overall total fluid consumption
- Lower total cost of ownership
QSK38
Also built using tried and tested components from our K19, K38 and K50 engines, the QSK38 features an updated cast-iron, ductile single-piece piston with nitride-coated rings and a hardened cylinder liner — for reliable power that matches previous models and keeps you compliant.
The easy-to-install QSK38 aftertreatment eliminates midlife overhauls, delays component change-out until full overhaul and supports 500+ hours of operation before a fuel filter change is needed. The upgrade also provides:
- Improved fuel consumption
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Automatic catalyst health management without intervention
