You tilted the boat so the drive would fit straight? I DK the weight of an IPS drive but wouldn't it be easier to either manhandle the drive or use a forklift to lift and tilt the drive or even stand the drive at an angle and drop the boat down on it?

The "normal" way is to lift with a rope from above. It is attached around and on the outer side of the top of the IPS drive including the oil cooler and the seal. If there is no access for a lifting rope above, there is a special lifting device (No 885836) that can be fitted on top of the inside bracket.
I'm new to this forum but I was looking for Volvo IPS information.
I have a Tiara with Volvo IPS-600 engines. For the last year I have had concerns with the engineering design of the sea strainers and the Pods themselves.
Has anyone had any problems in these areas, specifically leaks or failures?
