Filling the Drive Unit (XDP-B)

1. Remove the two 10mm screws (1) securing the
rear cover to access the oil vent plug.
2. Fill the drive unit with Volvo Penta Synthetic Gear
Oil. Fill through the oil drain plug location C. Fill
slowly to purge air. The drive unit is properly filled
when the oil appears at the oil vent hole A.
3. When filled to the proper level, install the oil vent
plug, then the oil drain plug C.
4. Tighten oil vent and drain plugs securely.
5. Install the rear cover and tighten screws securely.
If you cannot fill the drive unit through the oil drain
plug, you can fill the drive by trimming it up a few de-
grees and filling it through the oil vent hole. Reinstall
the oil vent plug, and place the drive in the run (down)
position. Remove the vent plug and check the oil level.
Reinstall the vent plug and tighten securely.
NOTICE! If the drive unit was filled through the oil
vent hole, wait 15 minutes before checking
oil. This will help ensure all air is purged
from the oil cavity. Leave the oil vent plug
loose during the waiting period.
6. Re-install the propellers. You may refer to the
section entitled Propeller Care on page 102 for
instructions on replacing the propeller.
7. Check the oil level at the drive oil reservoir. If nec-
essary, add oil through the reservoir cap. Please
refer to the section entitled Technical Data on
page 115 for drive unit oil capacity.
NOTICE! When washing the drive unit, do not use a
pressure washer. Using a pressure washer
will damage the water intake hose and the
drive bellows.
