Will a OMC trim cylinder reseal kit part # 985060 work on Volvo Penta SP 290 trim cylinders as they do on SX trim cylinders?

Haven't tried it, but I would be amazed if it does.

Re: Volvo Penta 290 SP trim cylinder rebuild parts

There are a ton of posts stating that members have used the OMC trim cylinder reseal kit part # 985060 on SX outdrive trim cylinders and they do work.

I'm just wondering if the same kit will work on a '92 SP outdrive trim cylinders. My leaky cylinders have the round caps that require a spanner wrench to remove.

Anyone used the OMC kit to rebuild SP round cap trim cylinders?

What are the differences in an SP and an SX outdrive?

What are the differences in an SP and an SX outdrive?

They share a few internal parts, everything else is different.

I have rebuilt the cylinders on my SX drive, with the OMC kit and that worked fine, but I'm having my doubts that the kit will fit the round style SP cylinders.

This guy who sell overhaul kits for Volvo trim cylinders, also states that there are different kits.
