6BTA 280 HP Marine Engine (Extended Long Block)
Whether you are looking to replace an existing (5.9 L) 6BT marine engine or
interested in doing a complete repower we can help. The 6BT Marine
engines are perfect for commercial fishing vessels, small trawlers,
supply boats, patrol boats, skiffs, tugs, pontoons, and pleasure boats.
Mechanical Cummins 6BT engines have been popular for repower projects
due to their lighter weight, available power, and significantly lower
cost over Yanmar or Volvo Penta engines. Common repower projects include
the old Detroit Two-Stroke 4-71s and 6-71s, Perkins 4.154, 4.326 and
6.354, Ford Lehman, Mercruiser, Sterling and Gray Marine. First designed
in 1983, the 4BT and later on 6BT (1989) are known to be some of the
best diesel engines ever designed for industrial and automotive use with
millions upon millions of engines still working hard today. Their
reputation is built on their simple design, easy of use to work on and
open ability to upgrade as needed from a performance aspect.
Our 6BTA (5.9 L) marine engines essentially come as complete engine
(extended long blocks) and include wet exhaust manifolds, water cooled
turbocharger, marine rated fuel pump, fuel lines, injectors, marine
rated pistons, heat exchanger, sea water pump and oil pan. Our Cummins 6BT Marine engines are designed to be connected to a gearbox with a
fixed-pitch propeller; additionally engines can be connected to a
ControlledPitch Propeller System (CPP).
All marine engines come as a standard “Left Hand” Counter Clockwise
Rotation (CCW). Directional rotation can be identified when inspecting
the flywheel rotation. Engines are all run tested and ready to ship.
Note: Marine engines come as is. It is up to you, the
customer, to configure your application as needed.Our marine long block
and extended long block assemblies are considered ‘component builds’. A
new component build is an engine assembly built back to popular
configurations using roughly 90% OEM parts, 10% Aftermarket when
available.
New Component Builds do include limited rebuilt and/or remanufactured
components when necessary but frequently they are non-critical wear
parts such as aftercoolers,
exhaust manifolds, water inlet and outlet connections, gears, gear
housings etc…Each build cycle we do is different and follows compliance
standards governing re-use
guidelines.
