I have a 1993 welcraft excel. The motor is a 430 v6 ( according to the flame arrester). The drive says sp. I have bearing noise and my local mechanic said its the bearing in the housing of the flywheel. So now I can't seem to locate the right parts for my motor and drive to do the repair.

Any help would be great!

Sounds like the Gimbal bearing, in the transom assembly. If you are able to get the serial number I am sure someone can get you the part number.

Re: Volvo bearing help!

I have found these parts on the volvo site. But my issue is there is a 430a or a 430b. Which one do I need?

Re: Volvo bearing help!

Do you have the serial number off of the drive? That will lead you in the right direction

Re: Volvo bearing help!

First off if it is a SP then you have a model SP-C out drive as per the 1993 year

I am guessing you had water intrusion in your drive bellow?

First there are no gimbal bearings in the AQ series drives and with the part numbers he is giving he is referring to your PDS bearings.

NOW....... There is a way to tell if water intrusion made it past the seals that protect against water incorporating the transom shield / bell housing.

On the fork that goes in the primary drive shaft there will be rust from the water in the bellow. If the seal did its job there will be a distinct line where the rust stops and further on it is not rusted. This indicates the seal prevent water from getting into the PDS bearings.

U-joints with water in the bellow will deteriorate quick and will grind like heck.

Ok here are some number for you:

3851019 .............
958859
(2) 914533
914462
958860

958860 seal is: Metric Oil Shaft Seal 35 x 62 x 07 35x62x7 Double Lip
958859:Metric Oil Shaft Seal 35 x 55 x 07 35x55x7 Double Lip

3851019 Bearing (single for DP-C1 and up): PDS single will be a 6206 SKF sealed

PDS double bearing assemblies will be a 6206 bearing and 6007 open bearings (or a sealed bearing with the seals removed).

Hope this helps. U/J's / Spiders for that drive can be found on Ebay for lower than the $162 Volvo wants and the $119 Sierra wants.


ONE NOTE THOUGH: I cannot find my Flywheel / PDS assembly exploded view for the SP/ DP-C drive and for some reason I thought there was a change in the DP-C1 pds assembly. I know they went to sealed bearing in the C1. Double check to make sure your mechanic is not referring to the C1 and is looking at the C PDS assembly.

Also, no need to remove engine for this procedure like many want to do.

I will try and confirm the numbers for the C drive PDS bearing


UPDATE: I just checked some number on the SP-C (430A)

For: 430A, 431A
