I am needing help identifying what kind of outdrive I have, the ram is leaking and I can not find the part number to replace it with. I don't know if it is a 280 or a 290. The boat is a 1995 Chriscraft 26' with a 7.4GL. Thanks

It's not a 280 or a 290, it's a DP-A or newer.
You should have a tag on the upper part of the outdrive, right where the helmet attaches to the drive. It will give you the model and serial number.
Post the numbers and I can post links to the OEM service manual for it.
Here is a link to download the Volvo drive chart. So you can see the different variations. http://www.4shared.com/account/file/52421696/eb4489e5/Volvo_Drive_Chart.html?sId=qfPO3wd6vvS59Uww

PS, you REALLY need to take those props of and send them in to get repaired. and straightened out.

I already had the props redone but the boat is in the water and I can't pull it out for a lack of trailer so I am having the marina pull it out for me for a fee. I am just having a hard time finding a new ram.

Do you have a SN for the drive, or even the engine may help.

I went to the boat this weekend and got some numbers from the drive in the engine bay. I don't know whats what because it was hard to read but there were two sets of numbers. DP-S 4111530071 3868299
Does this look like a DP-S?

Re: What do I have (pics)

Actually, you posted the TSK (Transom shield) SN and spec number. The transom shield is what is the DP-S(290)
Your drive is a model DP-D1 with a 1.78:1 gear ratio. SN 3102165477
The engine is a 7.4GL PNCM, SN 4110123612.

Look just above your original post where it says Volvo Penta Parts and click on it. Then to 7.4 then your model number then to this.

Re: What do I have (pics)

I purchased the ram and I was doing the reading for the install but am a little scared of doing this because of a certain bolt that gets stuck all the time. What do you think a shop would charge me for the labor to replace a ram on a DP-D1?
