    How to remove duoprop from Volvo Penta 280 ?

    Another update - I got part # 44 off with the special tool (885127) but there was no way I could do it without a cutoff 3 foot metal tube slid over the tool handle to get enough lever on it to undo it. Again this was a standard counter-clockwise thread (so actually both props are held on with a...

    How to remove duoprop from Volvo Penta 280 ?

    Hi, Just an update - I got this off - It came off with a 24mm socket (I'm a bit surprised because this is just under 1" but I didn't have any big imperial sockets to try with me). It was tight but came off with a normal counter-clockwise thread. Derek

    How to remove duoprop from Volvo Penta 280 ?

    That's the one! Typical though - I've tried a couple of times and it doesn't seem to want to come off. Because the sterndrive and props are aluminium I've been slow to hit it much and there doesn't seem to be much space around it, and the prop surrounding it, to get any kind of puller on it...

    How to remove duoprop from Volvo Penta 280 ?

    The engine is a diesel TAMD30. I do have that prop tool (885127) - It was very cheap even as a genuine volvo penta tool. I also have the prop tool 3855876 which is more like a big box spanner. I purchased both tools because I'm sure I'll need one, or both, tools. I found a diagram online...

    How to remove duoprop from Volvo Penta 280 ?

    Hi all, I need to remove my props from my Vovla Penta 280 sterndrive with duoprop so that I can replace the anode. I've attached a photo of the prop. I can remove the bolt in the end of it but I'm not sure how to remove the next part (the part with fins). Looking online a lot of the time the...

    Volvo Leg kicks up in reverse (continued) - can it be the gear yoke ?

    Actually in the video the slop doesn't look that bad but it's much more obvious in person Derek

    Volvo Leg kicks up in reverse (continued) - can it be the gear yoke ?

    Hi all, I have a Volvo Penta 280 sterndrive and I have a problem where I can't reverse - if I try the stern drive kicks up. I did pick up a Volvo Penta Sterndrive reverse repair (Volvo Penta part number 875361) which replaces the locking pawls which I know can become rounded. I had a mechanic...

    Volvo Leg kicks up in reverse (and the fixes that haven't worked)

    Thank you - I think I'll have to get the boat out again and see if I can get to work on it. I've already had the sterndrive reverse repair kit (875361) installed but I think there is a good change the checking and adjustments as per that page weren't all done. Derek

    Volvo Leg kicks up in reverse (and the fixes that haven't worked)

    Hi all, There is more posts like this one but I have this problem and I'm not sure what to do next I have (an '80s I think) 24' long boat with a Volvo Penta TAMD30 with a 280 leg. In reverse the leg "clunks" and kicks/swings up (so no reverse thrust). The boat is in a marina (and I don't...
