First Time Start-up of Volvo Penta
Just Spent 3 months Re-upholstering and wiring a boat that I
purchased. 1976 20' Ski boat with a Volvo-Penta AQ 170 Inline 6 engine. It is time to start this thing up, and I am nervous. What are the procedures that I should run through first. Changing oils, in the engine, and Grease in the drives? I bought this bought from someone that I know and trust, who I am sure 'Winterized' it. It has not been started in 3 years atleast though. Whether they changed the evrything or not, I want to re-'lube' everything before I start her up. I have seen the checklist before, but cant seam to find it, not that the time has come. I/O, everything......does anyone have suggestions..... Thanks in advance, Jason |
