* Cummins Full Throttle Requirements:

Engine achieves or exceeds rated rpm at full throttle under any steady operating condition
Engines in variable displacement boats (such as pushboats, tugboats, net draggers, etc.) achieve no less than 100 rpm below
rated speed at full throttle during a dead push or bollard pull
Engine achieves or exceeds rated rpm when accelerating from idle to full throttle
Rated Conditions: Ratings are based upon ISO 15550 reference conditions; air pressure of 100 kPa [29.612 in Hg], air temperature 25deg. C [77 deg. F] and 30% relative humidy. Power is in
accordance with IMCI procedure. Member NMMA. Unless otherwise specified, all data is at rated power conditions and can vary 5%.
Full Throttle curve represents power at the crankshaft for mature gross engine performance corrected in accordance with ISO 15550. Propeller Curve represents approximate power demand from
a typical propeller. Propeller Shaft Power is approximately 3% less than rated crankshaft power after typical reverse/reduction gear losses and may vary depending on the type of gear or
propulsion system used.
Fuel Consumption is based on fuel of 35 deg. API gravity at 16 deg C [60 deg. F] having LHV of 42,780 kj/kg [18390 Btu/lb] and weighing 838.9 g/liter [7.001 lb/U.S. gal].
Continuous Rating (CON): Intended for continuous use in applications requiring uninterrupted service at full power. This rating is an ISO 15550
standard power rating.

Unless otherwise specified, all data is at rated power conditions and can vary 5%.
No rear loads can be applied when the FPTO is fully loaded. Max PTO torque is contingent on torsional analysis results for the specific drive
system. Consult Installation Direction Booklet for Limitations.

Heat rejection to coolant values are based on 50% water/50% ethylene glycol mix and do NOT include fouling factors. If sourcing your own cooler,
a service fouling factor should be applied according to the cooler manufacturer's recommendation.
Consult option notes for flow specifications of optional Cummins seawater pumps, if applicable.
