Engines & parts
Detroit Diesel 6-71 (inline, N / T / TI) parts: good
Factory optional engine — you entered “Detroit Diesel 6-71”
Two-stroke 71-series engine with a huge commercial, bus and marine population; basic engine parts and complete overhaul kits (liners, pistons, injectors, blowers, bearings, gaskets) are cheap and widely available from Diesel Pro Power, Highway and Heavy Parts and others. Some marine-specific parts (coolers, manifolds) are harder to find. Designed to be rebuilt in-frame repeatedly; naturally aspirated engines with good care have been reported past 15,000 hours, turbo versions more like 3,000–5,000.

Common problems (2)
-
Oil leaks engine
Owners describe 71-series Detroits as habitual oil leakers; chasing leaks with the right gaskets and sealants is a routine topic even on freshly rebuilt engines.trawlerforum.com · cruisersforum.com
-
Noise and smoke exhaust
Injector and exhaust noise is loud unless mufflers are well designed, and some smoke is typical of the two-stroke design.trawlerforum.com
