[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3135739, member: 24531"] The water flushing port is factory on the volvo pentas apparently. It worked great compared to figting the ear muffs to seal good...I did try both methods and when using the OEM flush port, the exhaust water was barely warm...when using the muffs the water exiting the rear of the boat got nice and hot...must be something different about introducing the cool hose water from the port vs. the lower unit. [MEDIA=youtube]zM6LdNmPT4c[/MEDIA] Got the title yesterday and was given a spare 4 blade prop AND a brand new AC Delco regular oil filter for a 4.3 chevy truck. (PF52 I think?)...I'll see what my options are but it is very convenient to be able to get what I want from the parts store instead of boat dealer or having to order online. I'll prob use this AC filter since I have it. Thanks, I messed with the switch and got both batteries to work...I think your advice makes sense as the best method. Since this one is not an add-on, I'm hoping it will be fine; it is already 14yrs old but appears in good shape. RUN BLOWER ALL THE TIME WHILE BOAT RUNNING? Or just before I start motor and leave it on while idling until I am ready to cruise? Previous owner told me since it is carb it is cold natured and if it has sat in a cove for hours and then u start it u need to let it idle a bit before romping on it or it will die. [/QUOTE]
