Volvo DP-D1 water drain plug?

[hawkeye9802]

This is my first time winterizing this boat and the manual I have seems to show a water drain plug in the pivot housing of the out drive. I have drained the engine and completed all other winterization but I cannot find anything resembling a water drain plug in the out drive and I am nervous about this for obvious reasons. Can anyone shed light on wether I need to drain water from the stern drive or simply change the fluid? Thanks a lot

pull the hose running between the oil cooler at the transom and the raw water pump to drain.

change the fluid in the outdrive. now is a good time to pull the drive (or at a minimum, the top gear box) and inspect the bellows and u-joints.

Pull the drive and it should allow any water to drain from the drive if there is any.
Pics of the screw?

thanks for replies. i think the problem was that the clymer manual was showing a picture of the sx drive. i have since managed to print off a copy of the factory service manual and it doesnt show the screw in question. i did pull the water intake hose off the top of the lower unit and drained the small amount of water in it.

throw the clymer manual away or use it as the knee pad it is. download the factory manual http://www.volvopenta.com/volvopent...ice_support/Pages/manuals_technical_data.aspx

I went to the site and it wanted 41$ for the downloadable manual I asked for.
