Special tool for VP Duo-Prop?

[Gromulin]

I've read that I need a special tool to remove the props (the front one) from my 2001 DPS outdrive, in order to get to the lube drain plug.

Where can I get one?? I already searched the iboats store, when I was ordering a pair of trailering clips, and found nada

Only one I found just googlin' around was an actual Volvo-Penta tool for $200

Don, Thanks. I searched for every iteration of "prop tool" I could think in the store but did'nt find it...I hate some search engines.

Don, when I went to check out the tool you linked, it came back with this description:

Duoprop D F Series Wrench Kit
Part # 3855516
Prop wrench kit for replacing DuoProp D & F series thru-hub exhaust propellers.

Contains 3851615 wrench and 30mm socket wrench.

I've got a DP-SM, 1.78:1, SN -4202001xxx outdrive. Is it the right tool?

Answered my own question..."D" and "F" are the type of props. I have F5.

Which brings me to a new post.

Not sure about the f props, but the b's and c"s can be removed using a big set of pliers. I have the special tool. But could be done without
