Yeah, I have to agree. It's a Volvo single prop drive used in the early 90's.

Well, that makes it easier. Here is a link to the OEM manual for that drive. No need to buy it.

Might want to look at the information and post what you have over in the Prop forum, I'm sure they can help you. If you have the numbers off your old props, just give iboats a call on the phone.

That is the OEM manual for that drive, if you are looking for a manual to give you a step by step for every little problem you could have, forget it. This manual is the best you will get.

Don, do you have the manual for the Volvo 151 engine that goes with the 290 drive? The one I bought years ago was nothing but a photo copy of the manual and a poor one at that..
