I have a 380 hp Volvo forward Drive looking on information where I can get the Service and maintenance manual for this I believe I found it on Volvos website part number 47708014 It looks like it’s $40 but it will not let me order it or I’m too blind to see how to. There are also three workshop manu...

Drive in pic is trimmed fully up

As far as exhaust in pics I am assuming the boat has staggered mounted engines which is why the exhaust is the way it is.
However I fully understand OCD and it bothers me know that you spotted it.

I started a new thread on this

So my plan is to cut out all of the metal re-work the back bunk support so the outside frame rails support it and then adding a swing away Drive protector similar to the pics And since we are all geniuses on here I figure we could come up with a way to modify my trailer and of course spend my money

So summer is coming quickly and it’s got me thinking about boating.

Taking it to the dealer is the obvious response, however I am anal and would prefer to do the work myself so any help would be appreciated. I know about the quick drain feature and have already drained that. Here’s a little about me, I grew up on a lake around Mercruser my whole life helping / learn...

So this year we purchased a Volvo FWD with a 380 hp 6.2 L What are the proper winterizing procedures My previous boat had a Mercruser and I am assuming that the Volvo is much the same. 1. Drain water from heat exchanger 2. Change engine oil & filter 3. Change lower unit oil 4. Change water separ...

Here is a pic of the stop block
