Ok , so every year for the last 2 years and thus summer my boat as seemed more sluggish every year and is has a 19 pitch prop 2 years ago I could hit 4800 rpms this summer only 4100 rpms this is with the Bimini top up full tank of gas and 3 adults. So I starts replacement the usual parts , plugs , rotor , cap, plug wires, fuel filter. Although that did make it start better. And gave it a snappier response, I still could not get her over 4100 rpms. So I starts som deep research and have found that the Volvo penta fuel cell has screens inside the module and paint from inside the fuel cell "fuel pumps ". Is coming off and clogging these screens causing lots of folks to scratch their heads and spend lots of time and money to fix the low power problem. When most of the time it's these little ridiculous screens in the ""NON serviceable "" fuel cell pumps. Sooo I would like to take mine apart and check/clean mine. Does anyone have any knowledge of this and pics of what I need to take apart to get to the little screens. Thx. Oh and also the anti syphon valve location so I can check it as well. Thank fellas
