DP-CD maintenance

[JY Kelly]

Hi all,
I'm working on a new-to-me boat that has a Volvo Penta outdrive with a sticker that says "DP CD Trim" (the boat has been re-powered with a GM 383ci stroker under the original AQ231A running gear). I'm trying to find the appropriate manual to use for this outdrive... all I can find is either DP-C or DP-D series, and it doesn't show up on the drive oil chart. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: DP-CD maintenance

You want to find the metal tag, it will tell you exact model number, ratio and serial number,,my guess , it is a DP-E . But that's just a guess with out seeing a pic.
Tag is on top of out drive, just forward of the top cap that has the dipstick . If the out drive is tilted all the way UP for trailering, yo won't see it. CLICK on it to enlarge.
That's supposed to be a red arrow pointing to where the metal ID tag is :lol:

Ahhh, that explains why I can't find it! Thanks!

Turns out it's a DP-A. Thanks for that K-2.
