The Volvo Penta Saildrive 130S-D Gearbox is a high-quality, reliable component designed for marine engines. Made in Sweden by the reputable brand Volvo Penta, this gearbox comes with a 2-year warranty for added peace of mind. With a gear ratio of 2.19:1, it is compatible with the D1 30 model and is designed for optimal performance and durability. This new gearbox is a valuable addition to any boat or marine engine system.
The Volvo Penta Saildrive 130S-D is the latest engineering iteration of the widely utilized 130S marine transmission line. It is designed as a direct, backward-compatible replacement for all previous generations, including the standard 130S, 130SR, 130S-B, and 130S-C models. This modern variant features a standard gear ratio of 2.19:1 and is typically paired with compact diesel engine series like the Volvo Penta D1 and D2.Technical Features & AdvantagesElectrical Isolation: Features patented electrical isolation of the drive leg and the propeller. This significantly reduces galvanic corrosion risks in saltwater environments.Integrated Water Intake: Employs a built-in raw water cooling intake directly within the submerged leg. This simplifies through-hull plumbing configurations.Hydrodynamic Optimization: Engineered with a sleek, low-drag profile. This maximizes sailing speeds while under sail power alone.Three-Point Suspension: Connects to the engine bed using a robust three-point dampening layout. This ensures exceptionally quiet operation and minimal cabin vibrations.Safety Crash Absorber: Includes an integrated physical deformation zone. This safely keeps the engine block secure on its mounts if you suffer a severe underwater impact.Critical Maintenance SpecificationsLubrication Requirements: The 130S-D utilizes Volvo Penta VDS-4.5 (SAE 15W-40) high-grade diesel engine oil.Oil Warning: Never use ATF Dexron transmission fluid. Volvo Penta completely revoked the previous ATF recommendations for this specific drive model line.Oil Capacity: Total internal volume is approximately 3.0 Liters. You can check or change the oil fluid levels entirely from inside the vessel hull.Anode Updates: Volvo Penta is steadily transitioning its sacrificial protection from traditional Zinc over to Aluminium Anodes for normal saltwater operation.Anode Warning: Do not mix different anode metals on the same drive unit body to avoid accelerating corrosion issues.Common Troubleshooting IndicatorsEmulsified Oil: If your regular dipstick checks reveal a milky, cloudy, or gray fluid color, water is bypassing the seals. The drive must be hauled and the lower shaft seals replaced immediately to prevent terminal internal gear damage.Diaphragm Replacement: The heavy-duty rubber hull diaphragm seal keeps the ocean out of your bilge. Volvo Penta recommends fully renewing this structural rubber kit along with its specialized clamping rings every 7 years to comply with standard marine safety and insurance guidelines.
