Volvo Ocean Series XDP gear oil drain

[pdixon]

I'm looking to drain the drive oil out of my outdrive. The boat is currently moored, and I'd like to know where to begin. Where is the drain plug/fitting located on the Ocean Series Outdrives?

Thank you!
Paul

You have to remove the props to access the drain plug.
Don't forget to change the oil in the reservoir in the engine compartment also.
