Carver Owners Forum

Hi,

New here. Please be gentle.

I've got a pair of Volvo Penta AQ225Ds in a 3007 from 1982. The boat's been sitting idle for a few years and it's time to service the engines. Before even attempting to start up, I'll obviously be draining and replacing the oil and petrol, and putting in fresh batteries. I'm hoping it just needs the usual bits of maintenance. There's a small instruction book that gives a list of things to check, but I think I need something a bit more detailed.

So, I've been going nuts with finding a service manual. I found a Volvo one - http://volvopenta.store.elanders.com/de ... id:7733511 - but they give a despatch date nine days away, and from Germany! I'd rather get moving on this sooner.

I think I've now got one from Clymer, Volvo Penta Stern Drives, 1968-1993 so my engines should be in there - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clymer-Wo...r/401726230008

But going to the Clymer website - https://clymer.co.uk/volvo-penta-ste...1968-1993-b770 - I'm not so sure.



Can anyone cofirm that this is the correct manual?

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.......if you are not the original owner from 82.....I think the best course would be to get the engine serial and model numbers and establish the year of the engines first and go from there.......it is possible they were updated etc...

I would not recommend a Clymer manual. They're OK for an overview and some simple things, but no where near a decent service manual, especially one provided by the manufacturer
