Re: Help: oil from my Volvo-Penta SX Cobra outdrive 8/28/10

Here is the OEM manuals for your engine and drive, assuming it's actually a 96 LK model. http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/VAYIZ7Y8/sharing.html?rnd=92
The 7797367 manual is the one you want for your outdrive. Section 3 covers the shift mechanism and it's repair.
That $47 manual your dealer has is probably a Seloc or Clymers and won't be very helpful.

Don;
the sharing link http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/VAYIZ7Y8/sharing.html?rnd=92 is DOA, I get this message

The file link that you requested is not valid.

Do I need to be a member to download the link?

You can order the complete drive seal kit for less than what the marina is probably going to charge.
I ordered one for a SX a few months ago....let me see if i can find the price.

Here is the Sierra kit,
http://www.iboats.com/Volvo-3850594-replacement-parts/dm/view_id.467797

The genuine Volvo kit is only about 5 bucks more.

Just again saying thx, I now see the volvo kit here http://www.volvopentastore.com/Seal-Kit/dm/*******.288044348--**********.637758438--store_id.366--view_id.289944 is same as the one you ordered but like you said $5 more.
I'll save $5 and get the Sierra kit.
Plus a picture is worth much for me

Don;
I tried again at home and that link is DOA (I thought maybe work was blocking it)
I see specific manuals here http://www.volvopentastore.com/Workshop-Manual/dm/*******.288044348--**********.359210660--store_id.366--view_id.357880
appears I need the SX / DP-S Drive Unit and Transom Shield
(Part # 7788881) $25, if I order this it's a specific SX drive manual and not a total engine/drive manual, but I'm ok with that.

Try this link for the manuals, I think I must have posted the wrong link.

Wait, you and Gary are both "Fleet Admirals", how am I to choose who to listen too?

Need a tie breaker? OEM is better.

Re: Help: oil from my Volvo-Penta SX Cobra outdrive 8/28/10

yes, for $5 I'm buying OEM.
btw Don your links work fine now.
I feel much more confident to do a gasket/seal rebuild, given that info.
Plus, I can torque everything to spec instead of the snug feel method.

Don;
your linked worked, i downloaded the manual, its many pages, I'll buy it for $25, good investment.
Here are 1996 NC manuals:

and I'd get this one:

Our Price: $25.00 SX / DP-S Drive Unit and Transom Shield
Part # 7788881

Just double checking my model is 1996, here is valve cover plates:

and outdrive plates:

Outdrive is on worktable, with gasket kit, awaiting this weekend for re-build.

Re: Help: oil from my Volvo-Penta SX Cobra outdrive 8/28/10

Well, finally got the outdrive shift seal installed and the outdrive back onto the boat.

A couple of things to share:

This crusted stuff was blocking 97% of one side of the exhaust flow.
(this pict from earlier post I asked what this was)

I removed it, is that the infamous Exhaust flapper I've read about possibly?
I wonder how the crusted junk blocking the exhaust port on one side affected my engine.

Now clear passage!

The little roll pin (tension pin), when you push it into the brass part (eccentric piston) to remove the steel dowel (eccentric piston pin)

You have to hit the eccentric piston with hammer, the tension pin will come out...at first I was not hitting hard enough and was getting frustrated.
(step 6)

Greased u-joints and gimbal bearing

I was sorta worried on the whole re-assembly.
Followed the instruction manual, grease here, gasket sealent on 6 bolt threads, new H20 gasket, oil on spline seals (not grease), etc.

W/o a hoist definitely a 2 person job.
I lifted the outdrive close, my wife helped align the shift linkage thru, I guided the spline, moved the porp until it slid home.
Torque everything per specs and pattern. Attach shift linkage.
Got time for dinner/etc, cleaned up, next week will fill gear oil, fire up the motor, and hope everything works.

Then, time for winterization.....Yea I'm about 2 weeks behind where I usually am doing this but we are having warm weather here...

Re: Help: oil from my Volvo-Penta SX Cobra outdrive 8/28/10

by removing the ss prop you could have lightened it up a bit, other than that I use string or bungees from those fancy chrome ski tow eyes to hold up the trim rams so I dont have to remove the front anchor hardware to reattach the rams.
other than that it looks good. I warned you about that shift pin .
its a real pain when I get a unit with a second pin installed, and yes it makes dissasembly again rather interesting.
