Re: 280 volvo penta

How about some pics?Profile? Salt or fresh?Not sure if the 280 was made in 69.it could be added later.
Volvo is one of the best drives there is.A 280 drive can handle up to 700hp.
The older drives didn't have trim/tilt which is a real good thing to have.
They come with tilt but it's not to be used under load.
Post pics of what you have .J
