Re: Volvo 260a when were they made
That 260a is a designation of your engine and not your drive.Your drive will likely and hopefully be a 280 from the late 70s to mid 80s.Keep in mind that Volvo , as well as all builders, ratios their gearcases to the pwer package.Problem with buying a used unit is that you don't know if the gearcase that is on the boat is the one that came with the package,i.e a 270 drive from a aq125 will fit just right on that big v8 ,but will tear itself up trying to cope with the torque and revs.Do your research before commiting to this purchase,and stay on the same thread if you have more questions.
