Can anyone recomend someone to service a Volvo outdrive over the winter? I went to drain the oil out for the winter and there was no oil in it, just water!

I would suggets Beacon Marine at Crocker and Jefferson.

586 465-2539

They fixed the gimble ring on my boat and did a great job. The price was reasonable too.

My vote goes to Sparky at Viscious Marine. He has done work for me. I think his numbeer is 810-794-2111

bend over and get ready to be f'ed, that much water in the outdrive will cost you $$$, most of the internal parts will probably be corroded or start to rust and need replacement, doh.......

Thanks for the optimistic outlook goose!

I'm wondering what this is going to cost me. In Canada, I can get a complete top and bottom rebuild for about $1,400 US or just the top or bottom for $850. Will have to wait and see what kind of damage has been done to mine.

Are there any good work at home mechanics who would want to mess with it over winter?

just a suggestion but if you hit something and thats reason water is in there insurance will cover it mine did AAA. i took to dock box at emerald city...
