Cummins 250 performance data

Post by Nancy »

Where can I find performance data for our 1995 6BTA-5.9-M1 engine. We have the engine manuals and I know it's rated for 2600 RPM.

Was there ever a spec sheet for this boat/engine combo?

Thanks--

I don't know the specific answer to your question, But this engine MUST be able to make 2600 MINIMUM at WOT. That is fully loaded. 2700 is better. This engine needs to be a little underloaded to last. Take ger easy and she will have longevity.

Nancy: I have this same engine and manuals but no spec sheet about the performance in the boat. I suspect that there would be a lot of variability depending upon how you have it loaded. Do you have something specific you are trying to find out?
