    Sealing compound for DP-SM / SX lower assy

    Thank you very much for looking that up for me. Too bad they don’t list a actual part number for the Volvo sealing compound. If I can’t find the Volvo stuff, I guess I’ll just use a automotive type. Again, Thank you very much for looking that up for me.

    Sealing compound for DP-SM / SX lower assy

    Ok. Thanks! The outdrive I’m putting back together to put on my boat to replace my SX drive was used on a saltwater boat and has a lot of corrosion on the studs that caused me a lot of grief in splitting the unit. I was hoping to use their recommended sealant to help prevent or reduce the...

I have removed the 4 nuts and two bolts on the dp-sm outdrive needed to drop the lower, but the two halves will not seem to separate. I’ve tried tapping...
