    Gasket set question for Volvo SX-M outdrive

    Are the two o-rings in this gasket set for the plastic water housing which mounts in the pivot assembly or for the driveshaft? The title is misleading in that is says "outdrive gasket" but the other oddly shaped gasket is really to seal the water housing mount area in the pivot assembly...

    Volvo Penta SX drive - Freeze damage Prevention

    I read a few forums today and it seems an ongoing issue for the 1994-1998 SX drives is cracking of the starboard side upper gear housing, right below the middle mounting stud. This happened to a drive I just purchased, and over the last two days alone on this forum I've seen two other threads...

    Removing SX outdrive via pivot pins

    All, tomorrow I am going to cannibalize an old junked boat for its SX outdrive and anything else outdrive-related I can get off easily. I have only a hour or two and so I wanted to be sure I fully understood the process so I don't waste any time. The manual discusses how to remove the pivot...

    VP Outdrive identification- Mid 80's SX drive?

    I have a chance to pick up a VP SX outdrive which is attached to a mid 80's boat with a V8 engine. The guy bought the boat for the trailer and is parting out everything else. He doesn't know anything about the outdrive and the serial number plate is missing. He assumes it is a SX based on the SX...

    Upper gear bearing cover install

    I've got a question regarding the installation of this cover. Detailed in a separate thread, I unfortunately had to replace my upper gear case bearing cover. I ordered a new "used" one and I have a question about it before I install it- there seems to be imperfections on the mounting surface of...

    SX-M shift cable crimped.....am I in trouble?

    So......while trying to get the drive off (still stuck) I was raising and lowering the unit just trying to work it loose. At one point I accidentally let the drive come down and pinch the shift cable, bad enough to cut the rubber housing and bend the cable itself about 30 degrees. The bend is...

    SX-M drive stuck - suggestions

    I'm trying to remove the drive and its pretty well stuck. I followed the service manual and I'm on the last section where it says to remove the drive- shift cable, nuts, etc are all out of the way. I've soaked the threads in p-buster, whacked around the sides with a rubber mallet, took a metal...

    1999 SX-M 1.51 drive bellows question

    I'm trying to use iboats/volvopenta store to purchase new u-joint and exhaust bellows but I'm having a heck of a time finding the right parts. Are bellows listings for SX drives the same as SX-M drives? This is what I've found- SIERRA Exhaust Bellows Model # 10475895 and SIERRA U-joint...

    Dash restoration

    I've got, best I can tell, dash trim made from some sort of synthetic material which is made to look like wood. Its been pretty weathered and is starting to crack around the screw holes due to over-tightening. I'd like to buy/create a replacement and am looking for ideas on what material to use...

    Aluminum wakeboard tower question

    Long story short, I have a new place to park my boat which is covered. In order for it to fit into the spot, the tower needs to fold. When I went to loosen the four 5/16" threaded bolts which hold the folded components together, all 4 heads broke. The tower has never been folded down that I know...

    Assistance with transducer location

    All, Would I be OK mounting the transducer as show in the attached photo- just to the right of the drain? Its a small humminbird transducer and according to their instructions they state that as long as it is 15" away from the prop it should be ok. However, in their manual illustration they show...

    5.0 GLPWTR spec question- power steering pump ATF capacity

    Does anyone (Don?) have a link to a manual which would contain the fluid specs, specifically the reservoir capacity for the power steering pump, on a 5.0 GLPWTR? I followed the links in the sticky area and although they point to some pretty good general maintenance stuff, none speak about the...

    Power steering pump toleance question

    So today we went out on the boat for a bit - everything was great until the wife noticed (I'm so proud of her:D) that the steering felt like a car does when it has a flat -she was dragging me around on the wakeboard at the time. I jumped in the boat and tested it myself. After circling a few...

Can anyone tell me where to find the plug wiring order for the dizzy? I've looked all through the VP section...

    Prop compatibility question

    I've got a Volvo Penta SX drive which I believe has 19 splines. My current prop is a SS 14-1/2" 17p 3 blade prop. I have a friend who is giving me a mercruiser Alpha I 14-1/2" 19p 4 blade prop (15 splines I believe?). I've read the adapter kit here will allow me to use the merc prop on my volvo...

    1994 24' Boston Whaler steering issue

    All, I'm helping out on a center console with steering issues and I'm looking for assistance. The issue is that there is no steering response from the dual Mercury 150's when we turn the wheel at the helm. Because the boat has been sitting for about 2 years (indoors) we decided that the Sea...
