Hello,
I have a circa 1995/96 Prima M50 in a Bene 42s7 Sailboat (new to me) and my first diesel. We just splashed, and prior to doing so I changed my oil w/filter, exhaust elbow and both fuel filters, which I primed both. At the end of the season, I turned the key, pressed start and she turned over in like a half a crank, just short of instantaneous. Now it takes prolonged cranking, 5 plus seconds, and she is rough at idle. In gear, and rev'd up she runs like her old self. Like I said, this is my first diesel, and would really appreciate some help.
Thank you.
