Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this air filter is the right one for my boat?
This filter is specifically for Volvo Penta TAMD 71, 73, 74, and 75 series engines. Verify your engine model and cross-reference the part number with the OEM numbers (3838952, 3827167) listed in the compatibility tables.
What are the signs of a failing air filter?
Common symptoms include reduced engine power, increased black smoke from the exhaust, lower fuel efficiency, and unusual engine sounds. A visual inspection may show the filter is dark, clogged with dirt, or damaged.
How often should I replace my marine engine air filter?
Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater, dusty environments) and engine hours. It is best to consult your engine's service manual, but a general guideline is to inspect it annually and replace as needed.
Is this a performance upgrade?
This is a standard aftermarket replacement designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. While it is not a performance part itself, the product data notes that a high-performance version with a metal base is available from Walker Engineering that fits the same space.
Can I clean and reuse this filter?
This is a disposable filter and should not be cleaned and reused. Attempting to clean it can damage the filter media, reducing its effectiveness and potentially allowing harmful debris into the engine.
