Hi, first post here.
I am fairly experienced in diesel and marine mechanics this is my first Volvo Penta.
This engine is a TMAD30A + duo prop
Long story short bilge plug left in bilge fills with rainwater flushed fuel tank cleaned/ replaced lines changed oil no signs of water in those systems.
Starter failed, remove starter and there is bilge water( no coolant no oil) in bell housing.
Next step is to buy and install new starter but........
How does one drain or vacuum the water from the bellhousing? Can't find a drain plug.
Appreciate any advise or experiences.
Please keep to the topic rather than telling me all the horrifying things that may be wrong etc etc. I just need this water gone so I don't kill my new starter.
Thanks Guys.
Stef
