Need information on 1984 BB225B Volvo Penta inboard

I just bought this boat this year but it did not come with an owners manual, it is a 1984 Tiara Pursuit 2700 with twin 1984 BB225B Volvo Penta inboards. I have many questions so I will list them.

1. What type of spark plugs do the take?
2. What weight oil should I use?
3. What oil filter do the take?
4. What is the best way to check the trans fluid ( cold, hot while running)?
5. What type of trans fluid do they take?
6. Is there a transmission filter if so where is it and do I need to replace it?
7. How do you know if the packing on the drive shafts are tight enough or to tight? Should they be dripping all the time or just when they are running? How often should they be checked? I had new packing put in at the begining of the season so should they be okey?
8. Any thing else I should be checking or doing on a regulare bases?

Thanks in advance for all of your input.

Part look here. http://www.iboats.com/Volvo-Penta-Parts/dm/view_id.352668

Lots of Volvo information here http://www.volvopenta.com/volvopent...lication_search/pages/publication_search.aspx
You won't find an owners manual for the inboard, but look under AQ225 an read the engine info.
You will also find fuel, oil information in that link.

Transmission info depends on which transmission you have, need the model number.

Flax Shaft packing normally leak 1-5 drops per minute. Tighter will burn and melt it. Might want to ask the ones that put it in what the used and what they recommend for leakage.

Read the stickies (first threads in the forums). They usually contain a lot of basic info.

PS: Asking that many different questions in a single post normally scares off most.
