Survey watch points
Base Cummins power and model-code mismatch on the 46 Billfish page
high risk · unresolved · documentation
The manufacturer page publishes a Cummins QMS11 700 MHP base package in the power table but says twin Cummins QSM11 715MHP diesels provide standard power in the description copy.
The page does not reconcile the two base-power statements. Keep the discrepancy visible when using the model record or spec surfaces.
