I just purchased a 2007 Regal with a Volvo Penta 5.7 OSi-G and XDP outdrive. The sea trial went fine, but after 6 weeks of no use, I started it, put it in forward gear and it didn't move forward (but it did move in the reverse direction). I've read old posts on this forum about problems with this drive system; even a possible recall from Volvo Penta. Does anyone have any info that might help assess the problem and possible remedy? Thanks.

Yes, the plastic volvo drive. No longer supported by the manufacturer

Contact a local volvo penta dealer. They can help you. Vovlos only repair is to abate the xdp drive and transom assy and install an sx-a drive/transom assy

Hopefully vovlo will suppy parts at no cost, may have to foot the bill for labor

Check your shift linkage on the drive just to make sure that you are getting proper cable travel and actuator movement. Make any adjustments if you can.
