I was at the Volvo shop here the other day, (getting to know everyone on a first name basis as I am sure this will be a long relationship) anyways, the fella told me that the transom cut-out for a DP (duo-prop) is the same as the Bravo/Alpha in this newer generation. I was thinkng of a "fix" to my lack of hydryalics and trim and was hoping for something easy,...
BUT, you say, after going from a 280 to a DPX the cut-outs work ??? with no transom rebuild?
Curiously, here, a complete new drive set-up, with power from Volvo is not TOOO bad (way more than Merc tho) but when you want just the parts, (ie: just the drive) it is astronomical :eek: Obviously you got a good deal on yours ;)
Let me know about the cut-out if you can. I also like the idea of this automatically raising your "X" dimension 2" 'cuz when you factor in about $3500 for an IMCO lower it just helps in the decision.
