    Removal / Fitting Duoprop

    Managed to get some EN50 pipe, from a friend ... he even turned down a portion of it to match the dimensions of the VP tool. I'll cut notches tomorrow, and weld on a 30mm nut on the rear. Simple Q ...... assuming front prop (inner) is left hand threaded nut, and rear prop (outer) is right hand...

    Corrosion on drive

    Good news (& not so good) Volvo has agreed it's all under warranty they have approved swapping out the complete drive & Transom shield. Not so good news is .. it's a 3 month wait for parts. Realistically 3 months is fine as would not use until the start of May ..... so as long as deadline...

    Removal / Fitting Duoprop

    I have changed props many times, always set to correct torque, now have DuoProp. Removing rear prop straight forward, and aware of tool required to remove front prop nut.

    Corrosion on drive

    Never had this issue on previous drives, but they have been single prop. Maybe the dual Stainless Steel prop makes it more at risk. Though the fact that is has taken hold at each place there is a bonding wire may point to there being an installation issue.

    Corrosion on drive

    Had an update today .. Volvo Penta UK has accepted it is fully covered under warranty, and as there is also paint coming off they will not approve repainting ... so recommend replacing drive & shield. Dealer is to raise an Argus Case with VP in Sweden, and then work that through.

    Corrosion on drive

    OK .. step forward. Boat now in at another dealer …. Their initial look, confirmed zero damage or misuse of drive, I.e. no scratches, dings or dents. The bearing carrier (I called collar) immediately behind prop is extensively corroded and severely bubbled under the paint. On top & bottom of...
