Bye Bye 440's...

[Carl]

I guess it's really happening...



















I'll pull motor boxes out, floor comes up, yank exhaust and transom flange, then comes the clean up and stringer work.

Great move.

You will not regret it. You will realize the difference the first time you pop her in gear.

Since I am keeping my gas motors, I will shed a tear for your 440s! Its pretty amazing how quickly it all comes apart! good luck, keep us posted

Carl, I must’ve missed a post......what is your choice on the repower? Whatever the choice, congratulations!

[Carl]

Tommy- I picked up a pair of RTO Cummins 5.9 6BT 210's to replace the 440's.

[Tommy]

That’s great, Carl; fantastic motors. I believe my cousin said he put over 6,000 hrs on the 210 in his commercial boat and they were running well when he sold it. Are those the motors that are sleeved?

carl contact me if you are interested in oil filter relocation kit for starboard motor. (OEM kit to relocate oil filter to left side of motor to face companion way on 31 Bertram . no hanging over motor to change oil filter, put plastic zip bag under filter ,unscrew the filter into bag and discard.

Bob,

Not to high jack the thread, but I'm interested in one of those oil filter relocation kits. That is the one job I hate more than anything on my 33. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I have 300hp 6BTA's (cpl 0970).

Thanks!

same oil filter relocation kit for all 6BT/6BTA m2,m3,. the ENGINE FUEL relocation is use on the port engine to bring fuel filter alongside oil filter facing the companion way on 31 Bertram or any other Bertram so all filters are "looking" at you.fuel filter relocation just needs a new hose made from banjo fitting on fuel injection pump to fuel filter OUTPUT and a simple L shape bracket ,engine block is already tapped on starboard side of port engine to accept bracket.any question asked i can photo.
