Repowering

I recently spoke with several repower centers and was told that in 2007 all new engines must be "Commonrail" for lower emissions and better fuel economy. In light of this, if you are planning to repower, I would wait until next year and go with the Commonrail fuel delivery system. 1979 Bertram 33' FBC ALEXANDRA Port Richey, Florida HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR BERTRAM PRIDE '06 yet?

Common rail technology has been out for some time.....for example Volvo's new D series engines are common rail.

Do the Cummins factory remans have to meet the new emission standards? Does anyone here know what the warranty is on the remans? I heard it was good. Buzz Buzzk 1988 Bertram 33 FBC Buzz Off Morehead City, NC

Buzz.. I am sure others here know more than I do about this subject, but I believe that Cummins remans have almost the same warranty as their new engines. I believe it was on the Boatdiesel or Bertram31 forum that I read the main reason Cummins is selling 6B remans is that by selling "used" engines they can avoid having to follow the new environmental/pollution regs, which I believe apply only to new engines being installed.

From what I have heard that the factory remans have all new parts and the warranty being the same I believe I would buy the factory remans. Buzz Buzzk 1988 Bertram 33 FBC Buzz Off Morehead City, NC
