## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Whine, growl or rumble that rises with drive load
-   Gear oil milky, grey or over its level from water ingress
-   Vibration or a knock felt through the hull under power
-   Oil weeping at the propeller shaft seals
-   Metal glitter on the drain plug magnet

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   At 405 kg this is a freight-only item needing lifting gear and a supported handover, not a carried part
-   The ratio must match the upper gear and, on twin installations, the unit on the other shaft
-   Renew the shaft seals and gear oil at the same time and check the propellers for damage before running up
-   The remanufactured exchange alternative for IPS2 at ratio 1,59 is 3801721
-   The core criteria have to be met to gain the full advantage of a remanufactured IPS exchange unit - they are set out in the Core Management System (CMS), or ask your Volvo Penta support representative
