In this video I go through the steps to remove and install a Volvo SX sterndrive. We look at the inspection process by looking at the bellows, how to check the universal joints and gimbal bearing. We also find a small oil leak on the input shaft seal. I show you how to make sure your shift cable is adjusted correctly, how to adjust the shift cable can be confusing. And there are a couple tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years along the way to make things easier.

Great video! Very methodical.
I need to replace a trim/tilt hydraulic line. How challenging is it to get to those – the correct way?
Thanks in advance.
nice!! thanks for posting! this saved me some time!
Any tips on getting the lower pivot pin out?
Dude, This was perfect! I watched several other videos over the passed couple months, and this was so much quicker and so much more detailed. Thank you. I swear this was like watchin a Rob Cosman vid on cutting dovetails! lol great stuff
I don’t subscribe to anyone but I subscribed to you. I just love your laid back, calm and simplistic approach to repair. It makes a dumb guy like me feel like it is possible for me to do a few things on the boat. Lol.
Top notch video, and maintenance. I'm new to the boating world, but like to do my own maintenance when possible. I'm glad I watched till the end, when you talked about fluid level. I thought my outdrive needed more oil because it was half way on the dip stick. Now I know it's just right. Subscribed!
Thanks for another great video! Have you ever had to change the Volvo Penta SX-A Trim cover with the updated one that has two of the hydraulic lines coming in from the sides of the cover?
How much does service like this cost?
SPOT ON BEVIN!!!
Do you have any tips on replacing the trim lines on the left side? Very hard to get to.
Fantastic video. Thanks from Florida!
Thank you for posting this. It is extremely helpful! There are a lot of videos showing service procedures for the older SX-M drives, but for some reason, there is almost nothing available for the SX-A drives, so this is much needed. It would be very interesting to see a demonstration of bellows replacement if you get around to it. Question: the workshop manual says to discard the 6 nuts that hold the drive to the pivot housing. Is it necessary to replace them every time they are removed?
