I have to rip and tear that hideous M off, scrape any residual then clean it up with acetone. I'll wait for a warmer time for now
The temp issue is with all merc drives. Why it doesn't show up on the Volvo I can't answer that. They do something different in the water passages. But what I can say is the oil still gets hot in the Volvo. I would say two out of the last four dps drives I've had when I went to charge the drive lube it was black and not smelling so good. So that tells me they get hot. Now I only run mine about 25 hours a year. So make sure you change your fluid. After this year I'll know if the new lube helped in my drive or not. But I would almost consider changing it twice a year if you put on more hours than me. Now we tube and wakeboard alot not just a bunch of cruising around and I don't run wide open to much unless Nauti is behind meBobRae99 wrote: Tue Feb 06, 2018 10:38 pm I’m just wondering whether the high temp issue with the B3 is also found on Volvo Penta DPS drives?
