Painting the Drive
WARNING!
Read and carefully follow the instructions and
warnings on the packaging.
Remove all loose paint and corrosion residue by
blasting or with sandpaper.
If blasting is used, the blasting agent should be
aluminum oxide with a particle size of between 0.2 and
0.7 mm.
If sandpaper is used, it must be coated with aluminum
oxide.
Sand the painted surfaces and the damaged/corroded
raw aluminum surfaces to be touched up.
Then clean using clean water.
WARNING!
Do not use steel wool. Small pieces of steel will
become embedded in the aluminum and will cause
severe corrosion damage.
WARNING!
Do not use emery cloth. Small pieces of iron oxide
which are used in the emery cloth will become
embedded in the aluminum and will cause severe
corrosion damage.
When the primer coating is thin or the surface is
unpainted, it must first be coated with primer, part #
1141562.
Drying time 8-12 hours.
Then apply a final coat.
The spare parts catalog and the “Volvo Penta
accessories” catalog specify the part numbers for
surface treatment products.
Also apply anti-fouling.
NOTICE!
Use a locally recommended anti-fouling
paint on the drive gear.

Changing oil in S Drives
The oil can be changed from within the boat by drawing
it up through the pipe on the side of the S Drive or
draining from below when the boat is out of the water.
The advantage of changing the oil with the boat out of
the water is the removal of all oil when draining from
below. When changing oil inboard around 3 dl will
remain in the drive.
Another advantage when draining oil from below is that
the magnetic plug in the oil drain can be cleaned.
