Volvo Penta 39; Req. for Doc.

LS

For the past month or so I have been searching very extensively for technical documentation on the Internet about a small vintage Volvo-Penta outboard I acquired some weeks ago. Model Volvo Penta 39. What I do know by know it is a 3.9Hp, 2-stroke, 1-cylinder, 70-80cc outboard motor, that's about it.

The Volvo-Penta seems to have been a more or less identical successor to a Monark and/or Crescent and/or Archimedes model, and maybe comeone can support me in finding some technical documentation. Any sort of Owners Manual, Service-, Repair- or Workshop Manual, or however they called it at the time would be very welcome in order to prolong the devices life, and in doing so it might drive my boat for some more years to come. I have posted this question in other boating related groups but unfortunately to no avail, so I turn to a bit broader audience.

With my sincerest apologies for bothering all of you with my humble request,

Best regards,

Harm

Hi there is a swedish book about the Swedish outboards - but it is in Swedish (i ahev it) so a copy wouldent help much unless you can read Swedish (or Danish/Norwegian - it is more or less the same language)

The Volvo penta Outboards existed from 1972 before that it was a Cresent - and before that (around 1961) it was Electrolux outboards production enden in 1979 - they had a range of OB`s starting with the 39 (3,9hp) and all the way up to a 700 (70 hp) they where reliable OB`s and quite common here in Scandinavia - but the hard competition (especialy on prices) in the late 70ìes ended up with Volvo closing the production of OB`s
