you wont need parts for the volvo because it wont break. and if it did labour is simpler therefore cheaper. my two cents.
Why would a velvet drive (1:1 71C) turn the shaft so that the boat moves at neutral? It seemed to turn more when the engine/tranny were cold....
have you checked the oil?
I want to know where can I get pricing on brand new Walter V-drives. Does anyone know where? Thanks in advance
can you add the reduction gear to any 1:1 Velvet transmission?
I'm not sure but 3000 seems pretty low, I'd say max RPM for a 5.7L should be between 4400-4800
Mtnrat, thanks for the response. I've already bought a 16x15 prop, it's based on a discontinued Michigan propeller, the boat has lost 200rpm...

I'd put the boat on the water, turn it on and first check if the water pump is running, if so, take a ride!
any pic?
My options at this moment are a Velvet 71C 1.5:1 or a PCM 1.23:1. PCM has 9 degree angle and aluminion case but don't know if it's a durable as a...

does the PCM support R.H. engines?
Need a reduction gear for my Crusader 270hp R.H. engine, everybody arounds here uses Velvet, but I'm thinking about getting a PCM 1.23:1. Any...
