General Information
tions may allow extensive engine damage. Ensure the fuel system is
not contaminated with water before attempting to start engine.
Frequently check engine compartment for gasoline fumes and ex-
cessive water accumulation; water depth in bilge should be kept well
below flywheel housing.
Water entry through the intake or exhaust system is not considered
a defect in the engine and is excluded from coverage under the lim-
ited express warranty.
20-Hour Check
1. Change engine oil and oil filter.
2. Check power trim/tilt reservoir for proper fluid level.
3. Clean and inspect the ceramic filter located under the fuel
pump.
4. Check flame arrestor for proper mounting.
5. Start engine and check complete fuel system for leaks.
6. Lubricate steering cable ram with Volvo Penta grease P/N
828250. Check power steering pump reservoir for correct fluid
level on models equipped with power steering. Failure to prop-
erly lubricate the steering system could lead to loss of steering
control.
7. Check shift system for proper adjustment and operation. Verify
cable attachment clamp on pivot housing is fully seated and
secure. Inspect cable anchor and cotter pin at shift linkage on
