R5 Surf (350 engine) Lower Unit Oil Change

[Jcm256]

Hi Guys,

Appreciate all of the help I have received from everyone with some of the questions I have had. I like doing a lot of my own maintenance (within reason) and had another question. Ive searched the web and can't find much on maintenance on these Volvo Penta FWD drives. Looking to change the lower unit oil and notice some of the traditional drives require the props to be removed. I noticed on mine there appears to be a drain plug on the bottom of the drive much like my old boat which had a Volvo on it as well. Any difference in changing the fluid on these forward drives? Im trying to get a service/maintenance manual for it and that seems to be a challenge as well. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!
