General Information
Replaceable Element Type
Replace the oil filter whenever the motor oil is changed. This filter is
a replaceable element type that is mounted in a reusable container.
To remove the element, unscrew the filter cap counterclockwise and
lift the element out.
NOTICE!
When replacing the element, always replace the O-
ring with a new O-ring.
Slide the element off the filter support and discard according to all lo-
cal environmental regulations. Replace the O-ring on the filter cap.
Slide the new filter element onto the filter support in the filter cap. In-
stall the cap and filter assembly into the canister. Use a 36 mm sock-
et and torque wrench, tighten to 18 ft. lb. (24 Nm)
Power Steering
Maintain the level with Volvo Penta Power Trim/Tilt & Steering Fluid.
Approved power steering fluids such as GM power steering fluid or
Dexron II automatic transmission fluid can also be used. Do not over-
fill the pump reservoir.
Steering System Lubrication
Every 60 days, grease the steering ram with Volvo Penta grease.
Power Trim/Tilt Fluid Level
At the beginning of each boating season, check the fluid level in the
reservoir as follows:
• Level should be between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the
reservoir.
• If necessary, add Power Trim/Tilt & Steering Fluid. Replace
the cap and tighten securely.
Off-Season Storage
There are nine steps that must be completed for Off-Season Storage
Preparation
When gasoline engines are removed from service for long periods (2
months or more), it is important that they are correctly stored or pro-
tected (internally). Today’s gasoline blends are not as stable as in
the past and consideration must be given if the fuel will not be used
within a short time or if the engine is being placed in storage. Failure
to properly stabilize the fuel can damage fuel system components
and is not considered as warrantable a defect that would be covered
and repaired under the limited express warranty.
