Throughout the year cov- erage of this manual, Volvo Penta used engines manufactured by a number of different sup- pliers, hence we have categorized them by their manufacturer. We have also listed each engine by its size and configuration, and, Volvo's unique designation, if any. All versions of each engine are covered in the pages within, regardless of fuel, ignition or drive system.

In order to protect this investment and to receive the maximum amount of enjoyment from your boat it must be cared for properly while being used and when it is out of the water. Always store your boat with the bow higher than the stern and be sure to remove the transom drain plug and the inner hull drain plugs. If you use any type of cover to protect your boat, plastic, canvas, whatever, be sure to allow for some movement of air through the hull. Proper ventilation will assure evaporation of any condensation that may form due to changes in temperature and humidity. 1-2 CLEANING, WAXING, AND POLISHING Any boat should be washed with clear water after each use to remove surface dirt and any salt deposits from use in salt water. Regular rinsing will extend the time between waxing and polishing. It will also give you "pride of ownership", by having a sharp looking piece of equipment. Elbow grease, a mild detergent, and a brush will be required to remove stubborn dirt, oil, and other un- sightly deposits. Stay away from harsh abrasives or strong chemical cleaners. A white buffing com- pound can be used to restore the original gloss to a scratched, dull, or faded area. The finish of your boat should be thoroughly cleaned, buffed, and polished at least once The Spirit of Western Engine, powered by a modified Volvo Penta AQ290, 350 CID engine and equipped with a Volvo stock Model 280 stern drive, attained 110 mph, when driven by Mike Basso during endurance competition. The boat was clocked by radar on a measured course. The only change to the lower unit was slight streamlining to the leading edge. Safety is a prime consideration for racing teams competing in such high-performance events. The "Spirit" is owned by Western Engine Distributors, Santa Ana, California, Volvo Penta distributors for Southern Califomia and neighboring areas until mid 1987, when Volvo eliminated the "three tier" distribution system.

The rewards are efficiency, economy, enjoyment, and safe boating. each season. Take care when buffing or polishing with a marine cleaner not to over- heat the surface you are working, because you will burn it. 1-3 CONTROLLING CORROSION Since man first started out on the water, corrosion on his craft has been his enemy. The first form was merely rot in the wood and then it was rust, followed by other forms of destructive corrosion in the more modern materials. One defense against corrosion is to use similar metals throughout Zincs used with the Volvo Penta stern drive units. The bar attaches to the underside of the transom shield and the ring is secured to the bearing housing ahead of the propeller. A neglected boat and stern drive. Such corrosion and marine growth will be costly to the owner and greatly reduce his boating enjoyment through poor performance. What a contrast with the equipment shown in the left column. the boat. Even though this is difficult to do in designing a new boat, particularly the undersides, similar metals should be used whenever and wherever possible. A second defense against corrosion is to insulate dissimilar metals. This can be done by using an exterior coating of Sea Skin or by insulating them with plastic or rubber gaskets. Using Zinc The proper amount of zinc attached to a boat is extremely important. The use of too much zinc can cause wood burning by plac- ing the metals close together and they be- come "hot". On the other hand, using too small a zinc plate will cause more rapid deterioration of the metal you are trying to protect. If in doubt, consider the fact that it is far better to replace the zincs than to replace planking or other expensive metal parts f rom having an excess of zinc. Two proper size zincs may be purchased from the local Volvo Penta marine dealer, as shown in the accompanying lllustration. A partially corroded zinc bar from the transom shield. An excellent example of how the inexpensive zincs are sacrificed to save more costly parts. The zincs should be checked regularly and changed when they show this much deterioration.

© 2006 PDF Manual Master A Volvo Penta spare parts kit includes a raw water pump impeller, set of spark plugs, condenser, V-belt for the alternator, and a fuse. Such a kit, sold at modest cost, could prove most valuable in an emergency situa- tion. A zinc bar and ring (lower right), and a spare oil filter (Zeft), might be added to the kit by the prudent boat owner. The bar attaches to the underside of the transom shield and the ring is secured to the double bearing housing ahead of the propeller. The other illustration on the previous page is an excellent example of how the inexpensive zincs are sacrificed to save more costly parts. The zincs should be checked regularly and changed when they show signs of deteriorating. 1-4 PROPELLERS As you know, the propeller is actually what moves the boat through the water. This is how it is done. The propeller oper- ates in water in much the manner as a wood screw does in wood. The propeller "bites" into the water as it rotates. Water passes between the blades and out to the rear in """I .. _--- 10" o o 0 o PROPELLERS 1-3 ITATION BURN Cavitation air bubbles formed at the propeller. Manufacturers are constantly fighting this problem, as explained in the text. the shape of a cone. The propeller "biting" through the water in much the same manner as a wood auger is what propels the boat. Ventilation Ventilation is the forming of voids in the wa ter just ahead of the propeller blades. Marine propUlsion designers are constantly fighting the battle against the formation of these voids due to excessive blade tip speed and engine wear. The voids may be filled with air or water vapor, or they may actually be a partial vacuum. Ventilation may be caused by installing a piece of equipment too close to the lower unit, such as the knot indicator pickup, depth sounder, or bait tank pickup. Rotation Propellers are manufactured as right- hand rotation (RH), and as left-hand rotation (LH). The standard propeller for Volvo Penta stem drive units is L.H. rotation. 21"
