I've studied alot of posts at various sites and am ready to do a single prop to duoprop conversion on my 86 Bayliner 2855. With the 280 drive, what model drive lower will fit? Is it only a 280DP or will a lower from a 290DP, DP-A, DP-B, or DP-C fit as they are all grouped in the same Volvo technical manual and the repair procedures are very close to the same. I'm going to start looking for a used drive and need to know exactly what to look for. With a AQ260 I know I will need a 1.98 ratio but what model? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I suggest you consult the experts at marinepartsexpress...

see their website and read their experience with duoprop conversions here...

Cobra to Volvo Penta SX Outdrive Conversion

You cannot do it if you have a 4-cylinder engine....

-good luck.
