Can anyone identify this volvo penta drive, and whether it's the dreaded XDP series?
If so, can you guys tell me more about the XDP, and what to watch out for, how to keep them working, etc., if that's what it is.
Thanks
Joint Venture SX Cobra or just Volvo SX, it is the one built during the joint venture with OMC, then Volvo bought out OMC and it was called the Volvo SX, that one is a DP
Definitely not the XPD

Thanks very much. How are these drives? Good/bad/decent? Had a little water that seemed to be coming in at what appeared near the steering actuator behind the engine when steering wheel moved. Assumed it was the bellows but not sure yet.

Ive got no complaints with my Cobra drive. Mine is the late one same as the Volvo... seems they learned most of the lessons from Mercruiser, and made them "easier" to work on (no pump in the lower unit, bellows easier to change, shifter not a disaster to adjust). Cone clutches also, so they are "smoother" engaging/disengaging as well...
