Engine Compatibility
Used in Volvo Penta DPS-D OX sterndrive applications. Compatibility must be confirmed by drive model, gear ratio, transom assembly, engine package, and serial number.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Always verify the existing drive tag and Volvo Penta serial number before ordering. The correct ratio is critical — this part is referenced as 1.78:1, and a visually similar DPS drive with the wrong ratio will not be the correct replacement.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace the drive unit when the existing outdrive has major gear damage, cracked housings, severe corrosion, water intrusion, bearing failure, spline damage, impact damage, or when repair cost exceeds replacement value.
Installation Notes
Professional installation is recommended. Inspect the transom shield, bellows, alignment, splines, seals, anodes, mounting hardware, and propeller compatibility during installation. Fill with the correct Volvo Penta gear lubricant and pressure-test before returning to service.

Parts Desk Insight
The key detail on this drive is the 1.78:1 ratio. Always match the ratio first, then confirm the DPS-D OX application by serial number so the replacement drive matches the boat’s existing engine and transom setup.
