I just bought a 1974 O'Day 27. I need copies of any/all manuals, specifications, etc. I also need copies of manuals for a Volvo Penta model MD7A diesel engine. She came with an MD6A workshop manual and an MD7A product brochure, but nothing else. I confirmed the model is MD7A via a plate on the engine. I have not been able to find any info online yet.This is my first boat and I have no previous experience. It hasn't been run for some (unknown amount of) time (min=6 months, max=3 years) and won't start. I was told to replace all filters and fluids and drain the tank. The tank is drained. I replaced the fuel filter. Should I bleed the lines and the fuel separator?I can't find where to drain the oil, and bent the wrench trying to take off the rusty filter.The tranny looks good. It is a light honey color, no odor, no grit. The air filter seems to be a sealed unit and is very dirty inside, do I replace the whole unit or try to clean it with gas?Any and all help/suggestions/comments will be appreciated.
