After running aground check for damage to the drive
or propeller and for vibrations from the drive. If this is
the case then the boat (if possible) should be run to
harbor at reduced speed and taken out of the water.
Check the oil level in the drive. If it is colored gray
then water has entered the drive. If this is the case
or if other damage has occurred to the drive it must
be inspected at an authorized Volvo Penta work-
shop.
If a propeller has been damaged it must be repla-
ced. Launch the boat and test drive. If there are still
vibrations it must be inspected by an authorized
Volvo Penta workshop.
IMPORTANT! To prevent galvanic corrosion
any damage to the paintwork on the drive and
propeller must be repaired before launching the
boat: See chapter on
Laying up/Launching
DPX twin and triple installations:
WARNING! If the parallel strut shows signs of
damage, run at reduced speed to harbor. The

her. Never align or weld a damaged parallel
strut. Please contact your nearest authorized
Volvo Penta dealer for assistance.
