Drive Unit Lubrication (XDP-B)

Checking the Drive Unit Lubricant (XDP-B)

At each usage, check the oil level in the drive unit by
inspecting the drive oil reservoir.
Make sure that the oil level is below the
"FULL LINE" marking and above the "MIN"
marking.
•
The oil should be amber-colored.
•
The oil will appear milky if any moisture is
present. You can check the oil's appearance
by removing the reservoir cap.
•
No metal flakes should appear in the oil.
NOTICE! The drain plug C is magnetized. Any metal
flakes in the drive will generally attach to the
drain plug.
If moisture or metal flakes appear in the drive
unit oil, take the boat to your Volvo Penta
dealer.
If the oil level is low, add only enough lubri-
cant to bring the oil level to just below the
"FULL LINE" marking on the reservoir.
You should completely drain and refill the
drive unit at least once per season.

Draining the Drive Unit (XDP-B)

1. Place the drive unit in the run (down) position.

NOTICE! Special tools are required to remove the
Duoprop propellers.
3. Remove the two 10mm screws (1) securing the
rear cover to access the oil vent plug.
4. Remove the oil drain plug C and the vent plug B.
5. Allow the drive unit to drain completely. Dispose
of used oil according to applicable environmental
regulations.
