I have a 2006 3.0L Volvo penta engine and I need a new SX 1.97 outdrive. A friend has a 1999 outdrive he says works great and will sell it to me cheap. Question is will it be compatible with my 2006 engine? Does anyone know?
Thanks All

You likely have an SX-A drive and his is an SX-M. You can't just bolt on a drive the the pivot housing. They are different.

EDIT: SX-A started in around 2007. You may be ok. Have a model number of the outdrive? If it is 3869334, you would be ok.
