Cummins Marine Diesels

Power Fire/Rescue Boat

For City Of Avalon 12

The Cummins-powered fire/rescue vessel recently delivered to the Avalon Harbor

Patrol of Catalina Island.

A pair of Cummins 6BTA5.9-M1 marine diesels were selected to pow- er a new rough-water fire/rescue vessel recently delivered to the Ava- lon Harbor Patrol of Catalina Is- land. The 7-1/2-ton, 12-foot-beam, 32-foot-long boat was built by Sea- way Boat Company of Long Beach,

Calif. It has been placed in service handling emergency boating situa- tions in and around the Catalina

Island waters.

The high-performance 6BTA5.9-

M1 diesels are turbocharged and after cooled. They produce 250 horsepower at 2,600 rpm and turn 21-inch by 24-inch propellers through 1-1/2-inch shafts that nets a top speed of 30 knots.

Other equipment includes a 36- mile Furuno radar, Micrologic Lo- ran C, Polaris VHF/ADF, standard

VHF, and department radios. The design, construction, and perform- ance of Rescue 2 has been so well received that Los Angeles County is having a duplicate craft built by

Seaway. It is also expected to be sta- tioned at Catalina Island.
