So, if you wanted to replace an old drive, could you replace it with one of these? Or do you have to replace the motor as well? Did they go over that?

It was interesting to learn about the updates Volvo has made to their sterndrives. If the Bellows starts to leak while the boat is in the water, does water get inside the boat?

Thanks for the good question. If water comes into the bellows there is a seal blocking water from coming into the boat.

Has Volvo added docking assistance to the new stern drive

Another comment/question... If the IPS can handle 1000hp, how come the Volvo sterndrives can only handle up to 440hp? At a glance, they are basically doing the same thing.

Good question. The IPS drives have 3 different sized pod drives, as you go to the larger HP range the pods get larger in size. The DPI sterndrives have the same power range as the IPS 1 pods (up to 480 hp).

@@EastCoastYachtSales I wonder what the draft reduction on a Sabre 58 Salon Express with tripe 480hp sterndrives would be. I like the 1350's with pods but am considering any reduction in draft from the smaller IPS pod's. Clearing lines from stern drives is much easier than sending someone overboard with a knife near a rocky shoreline.
