    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    no, you ran out of fuel. you must now burp the fuel system (bleed all the air out) FWIW, run out of fuel on a Cummins 12 valve and you must burp at least 4 of the injectors to get the thing to fire back up at all, and all 6 to get it to run decent.

    Blackfin 212CC worth it?

    Engine hour gauge

    Bayliner and other entry level Brunswick brands removed the hour meters as people were getting upset that their boat with only 20 hours on it that sat in their yard without use for 2 years was out of warranty. Other than for service intervals, an hour meters is almost useless
