I have a 1994 volvo dp outdrive 1:78 and i am trying to replace the exhust and u joint bellows. I called the mfg regal boats they told me it is a drv 1:78 serial # 3102148476. I could not find any listing for a drv. I called volvo tech support they said it could be: Dpd dpe dpc. But they for some reason could not find what drive it was with the serial number, which is odd. I bought both bellows from a local dealer and we were both guessing at the model. I just spent $175.00 for both bellows (bend over) but before i "attemp" to take it down (and hopefully not have spare parts or broken parts) can you give me the correct part numbers for these bellows before i open the boxes and eat $175.00 of rubber. I have also read everything on the internet about how to change these bellows, but, i would like to see or read how to do this on the outdrive that i have before hand, any suggestions. If not, of course the marina will do it for the tune of $1500.00 to $2300.00 depending on which outdrive i have.

Re: Volvo dp

at the top of the thread is a link for volvo penta parts. I would start there, go to genuine volvo parts.

also, at the top of the forum is a sticky that has links to the information on changing the bellows

One, don't panic. The DP-A,B.C.D.and E all take the same bellows. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour for you to change them yourself if you want to do the job. It's easy.
Here is a thread that shows what to do and what seals you will need. You DO NOT pull the drive to change the bellows.

Do you have the part numbers handy for the bellows you bought?
