1500 hours on a 33 year old boat? Never overhauled? The cylinder liner O rings can't last that long on a shelf, half that time in the engine just...
When I can not find a tank top fitting to use, I added a T to the fill or vent connects at the tank. Don't forget a potable compatible check valve...
Please search and read the many Detroit threads here on YF. Tomorrow, I'm hoping more Viking kids will tap in on your thread here.

New batteries don't mean much on a boat. Clean and tight cables last week don't mean much today either. Do you have a volt meter and a third hand?...
I'm assuming a cushion usually covers that seat till heavy fish fighting starts. My short term and temp plan would be to spot clean/prep and pour...
When you stack batteries in parallel, more charging amps are required to properly Bulk, Absorption and Float them properly back to a full charge....
Any help from the boat Mfg or Mfg's sales/support?
Pascal, on that BA Poole; Could some adjustments (with a big grinder?) be made to increase the fluke angle? Maybe some grinding to help the flukes...
