I'm looking for a very general marine diesel maintenance schedule, just to get an idea of time and $ involved. The engine is a Cummins 300 Hp turbo 5.9L.

X hours, clean this
X hours, change oil
Etc...

What are the items I should really pay attention to?

Figure every hour is 60-80 miles. Basically what I do with a tractor.

Not sure if this is the best way for marine engines.

It really depends on how you run it...at least that's how I treat my tractor. You run it harder you're gonna burn oil a lot faster. I guess changing it every 150 hrs would be a good place to start.
