Is it possible to upgrade from an older 280 outdrive to a dp-s? If it is i was wondering what it would take to do so. I read somewhere that the dp-s is smaller at the transom, any idea's? Thanks in advace for any and all help!

Volvo used to make an adapter transom shield for putting newer drives on old AQ drives. If you can find it, be prepared to open your wallet. It may be easier to stick with a 290DP or a DP-A or rebuild your transom

You should be able to change out your lower. My dad was going to do this with his 270 drive.
