VOLVO PENTA 270 ENGINE 1984 BAYLINER 28 FT Contessa
I Would like a price on a complete outdrive single prop both new and re-built. Please advise if you need a picture or more information. Thank You Tom
Hello:
We need the serial number to identify the ratio.
There should be a serial number on the drive starting with “27xxxxxxx” and then often a letter like a “B”.
The tag is on the upper unit on a tag near where the U-Joint bellows connect. The tag will have the serial number and the ratio as well. Choices are 2.15, 1.89 or 1.61 ratio.
If the drive works at all, you can turn the input shaft and count how many revolutions the prop shaft makes. So a 2:15 means that for every 2.15 turns of the engine (or the 270 input shaft) the prop shaft turns once. Smaller 4 cylinder engines like the AQ130 usually had 2.15 ratios, but larger engines often had small ratios (I.e. the prop turns faster).
If you can’t find anything let me know what the engine is and I can make an educated guess.
Also if you can give me the prop size and the engine and the length and weight of the boat I should be able to make a good guess.
