    How does the engine/boat perform while on the water? Have you tested the fuel pressure while underway too?

    Clamp Ring Seals

    What model/number stern drive and year is yours? Volvo Penta “AQ” series. My initial thought is you might need the transom service manual to help locate that torque number such as these for example, https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=7732703&_trksid=p2332490.m4084.l1313 This mentioned...

    Low Fuel Pressure 2005 Mercruiser 4.3L MPI
