I took the liberty to start a thread for this member. (originally from a PM)
Can you give us more info?
Is the drive a factory installed Volvo Penta DP-C?
By chance is the drive a converted 1992 OMC Cobra to Volvo Penta DP-S?
By chance, did the smoke have an odor like burning rubber?
On your way back in, did the drive go into FWD or REV?
Did you notice a strong vibration?

Rickymiller said:Bought a new bought 1992 century open bow with the 5.7 Volvo Penta DP-C out drive. I’m new to Volvo mostly only worked on a little bit of mercruiser.
But the guy i bought it off of said he was wide open went to neutral and it shut the engine off.
Typically, one cannot go from gear into neutral while under load. Perhaps more info is needed.
Finally got it back started and there was noise and smoke from behind the engine. My question is what all could happen back there when the pds bearing fail?
The later AQ series 5.7L with a DP-C drive should be using a single bearing PDS with a pilot nose just ahead of the Borg Warner splines.
The pilot nose is centered in a crankshaft bushing.
If the single bearing was to fail, it can cause severe damage to the AFT area.
The Borg Warner drive coupler is all steel, so there should be no smoke produced from a failure at that area.
Is this a bigger job then i am expecting to get into?
If you are asking about PDS bearing replacement, the PDS with the bearing should come out AFT.
The bearing itself is an industry standard 6206-2RS (sealed bearing).
