Excellent video sir 🙏🏽

Great job describing the engine.

Helpful on the basics so I can follow my diesel course and maintain our Cummins diesel as we cruise to Alaska.

Great video. Very nice tour of a very nice engine room. Thanks Captain.

Thanks for watching. We have many longer, training videos that will get you thinking about what to know about your boat. Here is a link to our website for a few more to consider www.captainchrisyachtservices.com/new-training-videos-from-ask-captain-chris-on-vimeo/

Thank you. If you find an error in the question, I am translating it. I am not good at English

I dream about engine rooms with great access like that!

Chris Potter yes! We enjoy the elbow room particularly when something doesn’t work like it should and we have to troubleshoot. If the builders had to spend a week cruising and really using their own design I believe you would see better designs. 😎

A very wonderful video. Thank you for the explanation. At minute 05: 3, watch a black shape that looks like a doll. What is its name and what is its role?A very wonderful video.

Ray M there’s really no excuse for anything else. Even in an older boat the engine room is a terrific indication of how well it’s been maintained...or not.

Thank you very much minute 3:05

Not sure if you are looking at the exhaust hose and muffler or the black object that was on the upper screen for a second or two- that is a ventilator blower fan.

Time to change that filter

how much would it cost to rebuild 5,9 cummins

Do these engines have grid heaters or glow plugs? I didn’t see a spot for a grid heater on the turbo supply air distribution.

Nope. That is a Southern boat. No heaters or glow plugs.

@@AskCaptainChris thanks for the reply. But I was asking in a more general aspect. Do these diamond series engines typically come with grid heaters or glow plugs and is there a way I could easily tell by looking? Thanks!

Which specific engine is that? I have Cummins 6BT 370s and would love a similar tour!

This is a B series but I’m sorry, as this was from training aboard a clients boat a few years ago I cannot say which model. If you’d like a private tour with your boat, and some education in your engine room and below deck systems, we can do that either in person or using FaceTime or zoom. Ask Captain Chris 772-205-1859

What level should the transmission fluid be on the little orange stick

If it’s a plastic orange stick that you have then the red transmission ATF fluid is difficult to see. Lay it against a paper towel and read the stain. The markings are clear but the fluid may not be easy to see.

If the generator engine is maintaining 1800RPMs then it must be an electrical issue.

how many running hour to service 5.9 cummins marine engine

@AskCaptainChris

Sorry I do not have that information. Best to look at the owner's manual. The service is based on hours of operation and if it is marine or other use. Oil and filter change, fuel filter, valve clearance, turbo inspection and more. Best answer I can provide.

Scott Goodwin thanks for sharing your comments. I was filming this video early in the morning while the new owners were relaxing with their coffee. Trying to be respectful of their peace and quiet. As Jon Lovitz says,” I’m an ACTOR!” Oh wait...I’m not. Just an experienced cruiser and professional captain trying to share a few learning opportunities with those who want to learn. Keep watching these DAILY posts. Sometimes I’m actually fun. 😎
