    Filling Tilt/Trim Fluid?

    Thanks to help from Don S. and jestor68, I got my drive back together yesterday. It is a Volvo SX-M drive. Filled with oil, and propped and it is ready for water now. While fooling around with different things trying to make sure things work, I noticed my tilt/trim is not working correctly. It...

    Volvo SX-M Thrust Bushing

    Re: Volvo SX-M Thrust Bushing Here is the exploded view of the drive. I think I may be missing part 47, but that could also be part of my hub. I think my thick splined washer is part 40.

    Volvo SX-M Thrust Bushing

    Re: Volvo SX-M Thrust Bushing The aluminum prop is a genuine Volvo Penta prop, the one that came on the drive I'm sure. The stainless steel is a renegade prop. The stainless prop is also about 1/2",, maybe 3/4" shorter than the aluminum prop, maybe this explains the gap with the stainless...

    Volvo SX-M Thrust Bushing

    I am working on getting my Volvo SX-M drive in running condition in order to get the boat back on the water. The boat came with two props, one aluminum and the other Stainless Steel. I have gotten the bearing carrier and propshaft installed with all seals in place, but when looking at the...

    Part Numbers

    I am compiling a list of genuine Volvo Penta Part numbers for a 3.0 GSPHUB, cross referenced with numbers for readily available parts from a place like a local Autozone, Napa, etc., for people like me who live a solid two hour drive from the nearest dealer, or shop for that matter. I am...

    SX-M Propshaft Housing/Bearing Carrier?

    I have a 1995 3.0GSPHUB Volvo, with an SX-M Drive, with 1.66 gears I believe. It is raining so I won't be able to check until the storms let up. I made a mistake, and removed the bearing carrier/housing without measuring first, because at that time I didn't know any better. There was no shim...

    3.0L water pump??????

    I'm looking for a water pump for my 3.0GSPHUB, but I'm confused... When looking on Volvo's site, it tells gives me 3 different part #s. Since I don't wanna spend $400 on a water pump, I looked through aftermarket parts here @ iboats. In doing so, I found one matching number. However, this pump...

    Volvo Penta Engine ID?

    I have searched and searched for the answer to this question, so here it goes. Several months ago, I came into ownership of a 1995 Regal Valanti SE 176. It has a 3.0L Volvo Penta, which I assumed had a blown, locked up engine. Upon slow breakdown, and on and off tinkering, we got the thing to...

    Engine swap?

    I have a 1995 regal with a blown 3.0 L Volvo 4 cyl. I have an opportunity to buy a 94 bayliner with a 3.0 L Mercruiser for cheap. I know both are GM blocks, but are they interchangeable? Will I need to put all my Volvo parts on the Mercruiser block? Or will this swap even work? I am planning on...
