Re: Volvo MD7a

But anyway...I have the same engine. How do you know oil isn't making it up there? I'm assuming you have already checked the dipstick to ensure adequate oil in the pan?

I did mine three weeks ago. I have a 30 foot Islander in fresh water (Lake Mead). The bottom had quite a bit of slime/moss/algae below the waterline. I used a piece of carpet, as some have...
