    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    Never liked prefilling a diesel filter, gas is ok but not diesel. The diesel injector nozzle are just really small and one spec can clog it. The manual posted previous it list the motor can have 2 filters not counting the screen filter on the fuel pump. It says to loosen the bleed screw and...

    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    The link is a pdf manual. Look on starting on page 17 it tells how and where the hand primer is. Note it the fuel can not be pumped it says to bump the starter to move the cam on the pump http://www.varen4u.nl/pdfs/volvo/Volvo_MD5A_manual.pdf

    need liability insurance for 1977 stardust cruiser, i park it in a slip at the lake, it has a steel hull

    Have Farm Bureau Ins and cost about $200 a year for Seadoo, runabout and Cruiser all together. Only reason for a marine survey is if the boat it self is insured. Just guessing is the person answering the questions didn't know any better, or they really don't want to do it

    need liability insurance for 1977 stardust cruiser, i park it in a slip at the lake, it has a steel hull

    Just add it to your home owners for liability only. Note the max is the amount that's on your home. I do the same for all my current boats.

    Replacing in-line fuel filter on 5.7L MPI

    Yes that is a glass inline filter and is not legal for I/O or inboard What is your motor serial number?

    Runs bad.

    TPS showing 5V, first make sure your seeing the wiper side and not the reference side. Ref side will be 5V, wiper side going to ECM should be .5V or so. If reading correct pin then look for bad ground

    Chartplotter/FF Wire size

    Then IMO with respect you don't want to know The wire listing Garmin indicates is based on main feed for everything, and it will be connected at the fuse block. A chart plotter has maybe a 2 or 3 amp fuse and a straight feed from Bat wouldn't need anymore then maybe 18 AWG. Look at the wire...

    VP 5.0 GXi-G spark plug corrosion

    Right side facing the bow at the stern is starboard, other side port (left) You have an I/O so the front of the motor faces the bow. If you had a V-drive (inboard) the front of the motor would face the stern. Everything is referenced from the orientation of the boat, not the motor
