Ok so I hate to post this but I have searched and searched and have found nothing to help me. I have a brand new volvo 275A outdrive that I picked up to replace my old 270. When I tilt the motor all the way down the drive hits the bar. However, it does not latch the prawl. For the prawl to grab I have to manually pull the drive up about a quarter inch and take the slack out in order to for the latch to grab the bar. Now I understand that it is not supposed to latch in forward however it does not change at all weather It is in forward, neutral or reverse it always locks and when it is all the way down there is slack. The major problem is that the latch is semi depressed when it is all the way down which does not allow my actuator to be exposed for proper contact with the tilt mechanism. It ONLY is exposed when I pull the drive up slightly and take the slack out. My old outdrive worked just fine and I cannot see any difference between the two systems. I know I may not be explaining myself properly. I will try and get some pics tomorrow. I am going nuts trying to figure this out. I also cant see how when shifting to reverse how that entire system locks the drive. All it does is push the collar down and the latch appears to work the same way as it would in any other position. This is driving me nuts, I need a beer.
