SX-M Gimbal bearing exploded parts view and OEM Manuals

[Saline Marina]

I have a 4.3GLPWTR and SX-M 1.79 in a Four Winns 170 Horizon. I have researched the official Volvo Penta store and the only thing I seem to miss is the horizontal driveshaft with gimbal bearing and u-joints. Not sure if I am dense or if its not there.

Another related question is where can I buy some OEM service literature. I have a Clymers which came with the boat but while correct in describing engineering principles its about 50% correct when it comes to my actual engine and drive. Im willing to pay more for the OE lit but it does not appear on their website, just a purchasing cut sheet and a one page "maintenance items" with anodes and gear lube.

Thanks for your help. Just a note about me, my username is sort of a joke. While "saline" usually means salt water, its the city I live near in Michigan. I live amongst cornfields fairly far from the water and no actual marinas for around 30 miles from here. While the boat is the latest acquisition, I also have a fleet of other internal combustion doodads to include cars, trucks, forklifts and tractors. So the Saline Marina is in fact me and my one boat

Welcome!

I found it for your 1.79 model here- http://www.volvopentastore.com/Beari...view_id.782027

Its under Drives & Transmissions, SX, SX-M 1.79, then transmissions - then about 2/3rds the way down the page.

As far as the literature, there used to be links but now we have a sticky DIY section here- http://forums.iboats.com/forum/engin...ion-for-diyers

I tried to post a hyperlink (below) but unfortunately it went sideways on me and now I can't get rid of it....so ignore what's at the bottom of the page.

Tried to send you a SX-M manual through a PM but it wouldn't go.....
