Volvo SailDrive Manual

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me with getting hold of a workshop manual for a Volvo 110S SailDrive. I've just bought a secondhand Etap 26 and as winter is approaching I would like to do some work on the SailDrive unit. If anyone has one of these manuals that I could buy or photocopy (as Volvo don't produce them anymore) I'd be most grateful. Many thanks in advance.

Suggestion
If the sail drive is not giving trouble. There is no water in the oil. The seal is no more than 7 years old there will be date on it. LEAVE IT ALONE. LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!! I had problems with water getting into the Volvo saildrive and it took 18 months for the Volvo dealer to sort out (cost him a fortune in lift outs). Must admit it made me sail more as I avoided using the engine in case I ended up with more problems. If you need to change the seal PBO or YM done an article 4/5 years ago about changing the seal. If you do have water getting in Volvo will tell you they have never come across the problem before BALLS!. If you have that problem contact me and I can let you know what caused my problems.
Good Luck
Danny
