    VP drive failed again ... 3rd replacement

    I have asked VP last year and they did not recommend any sprays. They have been very good at providing new drives …so don’t want to compromise any warranty position. it does seem logical to use something.

    VP drive failed again ... 3rd replacement

    On both times it failed it started on the sharp corner where the bearing carrier is (as in picture) My question was if the large amount of stainless in the DP set up caused excess electrolytic issue. There was focus on the bonding, but all proved correct. I think the sharp corners had thin paint...

    Skeg Q

    This is not engine specific, so seems correct sub-forum. Noticed on checking over drive that the very ‘point of the rear of the Skeg has snapped off / chipped off. Only talking about 5mm triangle. I could just file it smooth, and paint. or is there a filler …. Plastic metal, etc. I could...

    It's going back to Dealer to resolve, as it's a brand new drive, I'm not going to fiddle. Just interested on thoughts of the cause.

Started perfectly on the winterizing 2-stroke mix (hence the smoke) In Neutral, increased to 1500rpm (as per Volvo winterisation procedure) Horrible noise - sounds like gears meshing & slipping -...
