# 3857559 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Type F is the stainless steel Duoprop range for Aquamatic DPS and DPS-A sterndrives with straight propeller-shaft splines, and is the upgrade Volvo Penta offers for enhanced performance, strength and durability. Greater strength allows thinner blades, which give better acceleration and a higher top speed than a comparable aluminium propeller, while the high strength stainless steel adds excellent durability and corrosion resistance. A shock-absorbing rubber bushing and galvanic isolation make it a matched fit for the DPS drive. This is the F3 front propeller; the matching rear propeller is 3857560, and the pair is also listed as set 3857564. Every set of Duoprop propellers is designed, tested and manufactured together, so the front and rear propellers of a dimension belong to each other.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** D, XDP, V, DP, DPS
-   **HP Range:** 130-220 HP

## 🔌 Function

Forms the forward half of a Duoprop counter-rotating pair, taking the larger share of the thrust and handing a straightened flow back to the rear propeller.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vibration through the boat that grows with revs
-   Bent or missing blade tips after a strike
-   Top speed lost while revs run higher than normal
-   Cavitation pitting on the blade edges
-   Scoring or line cuts around the hub

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The matching rear propeller in F3 is 3857560, and the pair is also sold as set 3857564
-   The installation hardware for the Type D, I, IH, F and FH propellers is front propeller nut 3851569 and rear propeller nut 21631162
-   Check the spline form before ordering - Type F is for the straight-spline DPS and DPS-A drives, and a helical-spline drive needs the Type FH propeller of the same size
-   Volvo Penta specifies type F or FH stainless steel propellers for 6-cylinder diesel engines, engines exceeding 240 hp, and boats capable of speeds above 38 knots (45 mph).
-   Type FH is the matching range for DPS-B drives, which have helical (spiral) splines. A Type F propeller will not fit a DPS-B drive.
