Painting the Drive
The sterndrive and transom shield require a unique
paint repair procedure. Please refer to the
Do it Your-
self
manual or see your Volvo Penta dealer for addi-
tional information regarding painting the drive.
Anti-fouling Paint: Drive and Transom
Shield
When using anti-fouling paint on the drive or transom
shield, be sure to observe the following:
● Copper paints must not be used.
● Use paints specifically designed for aluminum
sterndrives.
● Procedure should be carried out by a qualified
technician at an authorized Volvo Penta dealer-
ship due to environmental concerns.
NOTICE!
If you do use copper-based paint on your
boat bottom, leave a 1-inch border between the paint
and the transom shield.
Failure to follow this
instruction will result in severe corrosion of the
transom shield and drive system.
Propeller
Propeller Care
A damaged or unbalanced propeller will cause exces-
sive vibration and a loss of boat speed. Under these
conditions, stop the engine and check the propeller for
damage. If the propeller appears damaged, have it
checked by your Volvo Penta dealer. Always carry a
spare propeller and replace the damaged propeller as
soon as possible.
A rubber hub in the propeller is the shock absorber that
minimizes damage to drive units and engines. If the
rubber hub should begin to slip, it can be easily
replaced at an authorized Volvo Penta dealer or pro-
peller shop.
