Building my Custom Cummins 6.7 Belt Drive - Your Questions Answered

In this video, we answer your questions from our latest episode: From Truck to Boat: Building My Custom Cummins 6.7 Belt Drive. Blaine tackled everything from crankcase breather routing and raw water pump issues to how we mounted a massive bus alternator and dealt with squeaky belts. You had a lot of great questions-and we're digging into the details to give you solid answers. We also talk about why we chose to reuse the Detroit Diesel raw water pumps, how we fabricated custom brackets and pulleys, and what we're doing to manage oil bypass filtration. One comment in particular made Blaine stop and rethink a key part of the setup-so he's already headed back into the engine room with a wrench in hand. If you're passionate about boat refits, diesel engine swaps, or just love seeing clever DIY marine engineering, this one's for you. Thanks for following along as we transform our 78' aluminum yacht, Tangaroa, with a complete Cummins repower.
