Hey Tomcat,
I posted on this a little while ago:
http://albinowners.net/aog/viewtopic.php?t=304
I found that hitting the priming button on the racor (which I've been calling the primary, and the engine mounted filter the secondary - others use the opposite) was all that was needed.
She 'hickuped' once or twice on the first re-start but then settled right down.

When I was a dealer, the boats came from the factory absolutely dry. I'd tow them to the fuel dock, fill the tank, be sure the Racor was full, and after a few seconds cranking, they'd fire right up. Same with Cummins and Cats.
I don't believe there's any reason to bleed these engines.
