    I have struggled to locate the places to remove air after new fuel filters installed. Surely there is a pump somewhere on the engine to do this. Please help. Yes I should install the bulb system but my Bayliner 4087 has issues that preclude such a mod. Show me pictures if you can. Regards Bill.

    left side of engine, towards the after end. It’s the first thing the fuel hose goes to. After that, follow the line to filter housing, then IP. You should see points along the way where you can bleed air from.
