Engine Compatibility
Associated Volvo Penta references show compatibility with DPS-B, DPS-D, DPS-D1 and multiple Volvo Penta D3 engine applications, including D3-110, D3-140, D3-150, D3-170, D3-200, and D3-220 variants.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Always confirm compatibility by Volvo Penta engine serial number, drive tag, transom assembly, and gear ratio before ordering. This part is referenced as 1.78:1, and a visually similar DPS drive with a different 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 housing, water intrusion, severe corrosion, bearing failure, damaged splines, 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. Match the ratio first, then confirm the DPS drive family and engine serial number so the replacement drive matches the boat’s existing setup.
