Any idea which drive this is?

[Hofty]

No decals on the motor (Likely pulled and serviced/painted back in the day).

Wondering what this outdrive this model is. Is it any good? Any advice?

 

[Scott Danforth]

Old....looks like early 250

 

[Scott Danforth]

Correction. AQ100

 

[Hofty]

Scott. Youre great.

Know if this outdrive is any good overall? I am yet to strip it down and add new leg fluid.

 

[Scott Danforth]

The drive was probably great 60+ years ago

How good it is today depends on maintenance, condition and how deep your pockets are to maintain something that old

I think I had a VP drive similar to that one a few decades ago. The tilt was not hydraulic but some shaft that turned or moved. Was not a fan of that method of tilting the outdrive.

So I have 3 manuals.

- Clymer Volvo Sterndrive shop manual (1968 - 1989)
- Inboard/Outdrive Service Manual 4th edition ABOS Marine
- Clymer Stern Drive (Service repair manual)

No where does it explain how to remove the sterndrive. There is an explanation for the 250/270. Alas Youtube neither has any AQ100 drive removal media. I have attached pics for this purpose. Any advice on how to get drive off properly?

Ayuh,..... Are you planning to fix, 'n run it, or remove it to update it,..??

For any kinda manual to help, yer gonna need the Volvo manual for it,....

Clymer manuals make bad toilet paper and worse manuals.

You will need the Volvo manual.

Being that old, you will have to call them (only manuals for after 2000 are on their website)

Volvo Penta manuals are the way to go. Shipped from Sweden

Looks like the very early aquamatic model. Was a couple of terms for them. 100’s might be one of them. But there was one before or called something else too.
