I have had good success finding C-level executives on Linked In when I have a problem that is not getting solved.

I haven't had any of these kind of parts or service availability issues on the 6CTA engines. Between my local Cummins parts supplier and Seaboard Marine (sbmar.com), stuff seems readily available.The admiral and I are just in the very infant stages of thinking about moving up-likely 3-5 years away. After reading this thread, I hope the Cats are the way to go because I sure would not go the Cummins route. Thanks for all of the information. It is one thing to have problems, but it is something else if you cannot find parts and service....
Thanks again,
Bennett

is there one model of Cummings that appears to be less problematic/better parts availability than others?
Thanks,

You would if it was your boat with the QSM11's that were fried.i would not go that far calling all qsm11 bad because we read here one case with issues. there are tons of yachts with this engines which just run.

Oh my God! You're alive!My Cummins have been trouble free the past two years.
That is because your boat has sat on land for the past two years.
That isn't true.........I saw it floating in its slip last July. Unfortunately the owner couldn't shake my hand because he was headed to get his arm reattached the next week.
