# 23427185 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta four-blade nibral propeller for Volvo Penta IPS 2, IPS 20, the rear half of the type PS5 counter-rotating pair. It is machined from the specially developed nibral (nickel-bronze-aluminium) alloy Volvo Penta uses for its IPS propellers, which gives minimum growth, excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Volvo Penta IPS turns the propellers round to a forward-facing position, so the twin counter-rotating propellers pull the boat through the water rather than push it, and optimal interaction between the front and rear propeller holds performance and fuel efficiency across the whole speed range. The rear propeller carries the patented flow deflector, which controls the water flow and minimizes pressure and wear on the propeller shaft seals.

## 🔌 Function

Runs behind the front propeller and turns the opposite way, recovering the swirl left in its wake as further thrust and cancelling the sideways pull a single propeller would produce. It is also the propeller the line cutter mounts to, and its PS5 designation has to match the front propeller for the engine to be loaded correctly.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vibration felt through the deck that varies with revolutions
-   Top speed down and revolutions high or low against the usual figures
-   Blade damage or curled tips after debris or a grounding
-   Pitting and dulled surfaces from cavitation
-   Growth and corrosion around the hub found when the drive is serviced

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This number is one propeller of a pair - order the Type PS5 front 23427155 with it, or the complete PS5 set 23427145, because a mismatched pair will not let the engine reach its rated speed
-   The PS5 front 23427155 and rear 23427185 are published at 26.345 kg and 22.882 kg, 10.647 kg less than the 59.874 kg published for the set, so the figures do not reconcile - order by the PS5 designation, never by weight
-   Check the shaft seal and clear any line from behind the hub while the propeller is off, and confirm wide-open-throttle speed against the engine rating after any propeller change
-   Fit front and rear to the same type code - complete set 23427145.
-   Line cutter 21686494 is the one listed for Volvo Penta IPS 2, IPS 20.
