Can a twin Cummins 6 BTA get on a plane?

My twin Cummins 6 BTA… My twin Cummins 6 BTA 5.9 boat with 430 hours cannot get on plane easily. Bottom and props are clean, excess weight removed. Turbos don’t engage soon enough or fully enough, so boat “plows” through the water blowing black smoke, for 2 minutes or so, until it finally planes.

How big is a Cummins 6bta 5.9 boat?

Whats the fuel consumption like on them (bear in mind we were looking originally at a 380hp Iveco single engine boat that cruised about about 25-30lph) I think the boat is about 11t total weight. Click to expand…

Are there hoses on a Cummins 6 BTA engine?

There are no rods on the turbos, no hoses. There is nothing external that moves. The internal vanes are within tolerances (laterally and vertically). There are no hoses to any pump—instead actuated from engine exhaust. These are Cummins 5.9 6 BTA marine engines.

Are there any recreational hours on a Cummins 6bta?

Recreationally you will never go near those hours, you will do some hours when the boat is first acquired of course but generally after a few seasons the hour usage will reduce as the novelty wears off, as you can see by the hours clocked up over the life of this particular Riviera. Good luck with the deal.
