# 22273600 Aquamatic Drive | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Complete DPR-D high-performance Aquamatic sterndrive with an overall gear ratio of 1.36:1. It is supplied as a complete drive assembly and must be matched to the vessel's engine rating, transom shield, propeller set and DPR-D product number.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta DPR-D

-   **Engine Family:** DPR

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Complete DPR-D sterndrive assembly
-   Overall ratio 1.36:1
-   Counter-rotating propeller output
-   High-performance marine application
-   Related later/alternate complete drives 22846224 and 22846226
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta high-performance sterndrive propulsion

## 🔌 Function

Transfers engine torque through the upper and lower gear sets to the counter-rotating propeller shafts while allowing steering and hydraulic trim.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Water-contaminated lubricant
-   Excess propeller-shaft or steering play
-   Loss of forward or reverse propulsion

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   At just over 160 kg this complete drive is a crane-and-cradle lift, not a job to plan around two people and hand tools
-   Confirm the 1.36:1 ratio and the DPR-D product number against the vessel's specification and propeller set before ordering; the related complete drives 22846224 and 22846226 noted against this range are different ratios and are not interchangeable with this one
