# 24681815 Propeller Shaft | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Volvo Penta genuine part 24681815, listed in the Volvo Penta parts shop only as "propeller shaft". No spline count, length, diameter, material or drive/engine fitment is stated on any source located.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   No spline count, length, diameter, material or fitment published — confirm against your own parts listing before ordering

## 🔌 Function

Carries the drive's rotational power out to the propeller, running through the shaft seal and its supporting bearings to turn the propeller and generate thrust.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vibration through the hull or drive that rises with shaft speed, often worst in a narrow band of revs
-   A rumble, growl or knock from the shaft line, or a clear change in noise when gear is engaged
-   The shaft seal weeping, or water where there should be none — a scored or corroded shaft surface will chew out a new seal
-   Worn, twisted or stripped splines, play where the shaft should be supported, or a propeller that has started to slip or work loose
-   Fishing line, rope or weed wrapped at the shaft, with the heat marking and seal damage that follows it

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Inspect the splines, keyway, taper, threads and seal running surfaces before fitting — corrosion, scoring or damaged splines mean the shaft goes no further
-   Renew the seals, O-rings and bearings that run on or seal against the shaft while it is out; the labour to go back in later costs far more than the parts
-   Grease splines and mating faces lightly with the lubricant specified for your drive and wipe the excess away — do not pack a taper joint with grease
-   Renew the lock nut, tab washer or split pin rather than reusing it, and tighten to the figure and procedure in the workshop manual for your engine or drive
-   Check free rotation and alignment by hand after assembly, then check for run-out, vibration and leaks on a short trial run before normal service
