My 2000 Reinell 20L with Volvo Penta 5.0 Gi was beached sideways this weekend during a squall and the pounding fresh water waves filled the boat up to the steering wheel and motor to the flame arrestor. I bailed the boat and got it back into the water and now need assistance in changing out the fluids and performing any other services. The motor and oil (not milky) seemed to be ok and was able to use to get back to the boat ramp to get the boat home.
How do you go about;
1) flushing/changing the power steering fluid (now milky) and what type of fluid?
2) flushing/changing the power trim fluid and what type of fluid (trim now stuck up and does not work since reservior went low and I added clear Prestone power steering fluid with stop leak)?
3) or anything else I need to be checking or servicing?
I do plan to change the motor oil from the bottome of the sump rather than dip stick. Should I be adding an engine oil flush or additive prior to changing?
Appreciate any guideance as I would like to get back onto the water ASAP.
