How We Built a Marine Cooling System for Our Cummins Truck Engines

In this episode, we tackle the critical task of fabricating and installing the cooling system for our newly mounted Cummins 6.7 marine engines aboard our 78-foot aluminum trawler, Tangaroa. With the Detroits gone, it was time to make sure these truck engines could handle marine duty—and cooling is key. We sourced aftermarket heat exchangers off eBay and got to work. Blaine had to custom-fabricate engine brackets, thermostat elbows, and support poles for the coolant tanks to make everything fit and function properly. This wasn't a bolt-on job. From pipe bending to bracket welding, nearly every piece had to be designed from scratch. If you're curious how we transitioned from old-school dry stack Detroit Diesels to modern Cummins diesels with a fully custom marine cooling system, this episode has you covered. We’re documenting every step of this boat repower to help other boaters and DIYers who might be planning their own engine swaps or upgrades. Whether you're into Cummins swaps, Detroit Diesel nostalgia, or just love watching real-world boat projects unfold—this is the stuff we live for. #CumminsMarine #BoatRefit #MarineCoolingSystem 👉 Want to go deeper into life onboard Tangaroa and get early access to every video from both of our channels?
