[C320-list] Impeller and fuel filter replacement--learning the process

[ptormey at 4square.net]

Tha primary fuel filter on #1037 has a popup pump to bleed the air. The secondary, on the motor has a bleed screw. Fortunately the yanmar is also self bleeding and will quickly purge itself. You'll want to put a plastic bad over the primary , lift? filter before removal to avoid spilling into the bilge.
There should be plenty on youtubes out there
Good luck

Subject: [C320-list] Impeller and fuel filter replacement--learning the process

Hello:
As routine maintenance for my first time I am ready to replace both the impeller and fuel filter.  Any instructions/advice for doing these tasks?  Especially wondering about the fuel filter and any necessary priming/etc. to prevent issues with the fuel system having air and causing issues from changing it.  The previous owner years ago had experienced fuel issues and did a major overall of the entire fuel system so hoping all is good, but any advice on other things I should do and/or check are appreciated.
Thank you.
