Dive Boat Question and Answers
As of 03 March 2023
Question: WI # 233-10-001 para 3.4.2; Calls out for the new Cummins drop-in gauge panel to match existing. The OEM no longer offers that diesel view gauge panel. They offer a Mercury 403 vessel view gauge panel. Recommend amending this requirement based off OEM no longer offering the panel currently onboard the vessel.
Answer: Upgrading to new Cummins drop-in gauge panel is fine as long as the KTR can provide the government with upgrade information to update planning yard files.
Question: WI # 233-10-001 para 3.4.4; Calls for the engine to have a center sump oil pan. The OEM engines no longer have center sump oil pans. Based on the S/N the engines have forward sump oil pans.
Recommend amending this requirement based on the OEM engines Make/Model/SN no longer being offered to have a center oil pan.
Answer: Cummins does not make a center sloping sump oil pan as requested by customer. Cummins will be able to provide new the same model in the work spec with forward sloping sum pan and can accommodate both engines having the oil dipstick facing inboard as requested by customer. There should be no new structural or maintenance issues with this direct engine replacement. Please have KTR quote for same Cummins diesel engine model with forward sloping sump oil pan please.

Question: For WI 631-20-001, Ref. 2.4, S9086-TX-STM-010, SSPC Painting Manual, Volume 2 (below), is the reference referring to “S9086-TX-STM-010” or to “SSPC Painting Manual, Volume 2”? These are (2) different and completely separate reference entities. It seems it was incorrectly put together as one reference. “S9086-TX-STM-010” is Naval Ship’s Technical Manual, CH-583, Volume 1, Rev 8 Boats and Small Craft while “SSPC Painting Manual, Volume 2” is SSPC’s actual paint manual. Both references are found in NMD, but we just need clarification as to which is the correct reference for WI 631-20-001, Ref
2.4. Please advise.
Answer: KTR to use Volume 2.
