Hello fellow boaters,
I am trying to remove my volvo penta 280(circa 1975 lower) unit from the transom sheild assembly. There are two large screws/pins that connect the two assemblies. The pins have large slots in them indicating that they may be threaded like the hex-screw/pin at the top of the steering helmet. my volvo penta manual just says, "remove locking screws and pins".
On a previously similar post for a much newer outdrive system, they advised to drive out with a brass punch. I need somebody to reply that has done this before on my model/year outdrive.
my questions are:
1) are these pins threaded?
2) if they are to be "driven out", please provide specific instructions and tools needed on how to accomplish.
I tried uploading pictures, but in doing so I received an "invalid file data" error message. perhaps a moderator can assist.
thanks
