# 854834 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Type B is an earlier aluminium Duoprop range for the classic Volvo Penta 280, 290 and DP Aquamatic sterndrives. Volvo Penta has replaced the Type B propeller sets with Type J sets, but the Type B front and rear propellers are still sold individually as spare parts. This is the B5 rear propeller; the matching front propeller is 854826 - no complete set number is listed in this dimension. 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:** AD, D, TMD, DP, HS, TAMD, KAD, KAMD

## 🔌 Function

The trailing propeller of a counter-rotating Duoprop pair, turning the opposite way in the front propeller's wash and recovering the swirl left in it as extra thrust, which is what gives a Duoprop its grip and straight tracking.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vibration that increases with revs
-   Chipped, bent or folded blade tips
-   Engine revs sitting higher than usual
-   Line or weed caught behind the hub
-   Eroded or pitted blade faces

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Order by the B5 code marked on the propeller rather than by weight: only 45 grams separate it from the B8 rear 854837; the same 3.039 kg is published for the A7 front 854780, the B3 rear 854832 among the propellers listed here
-   Check the matching front 854826 for the same damage and keep both propellers at the same dimension
-   Do not mix Type A, Type B and Type J propellers on a drive, and use propellers of the same type and size on the drive - or on both drives in a twin installation; Type J is the modern aluminium replacement covering both Type A and Type B sizes, but the sizes do not transfer directly - an A5 is not a J5 - so size an upgrade with your dealer, giving maximum boat speed and engine rpm
-   Type J is designed to cover both the Type A and the Type B propellers, but the sizes are not equally transferred. Consult a Volvo Penta dealer for the right size, providing the maximum boat speed and engine rpm if possible.
-   Do not mix Type A, B and J propellers. Always use propellers of the same type and size on the drive, or on both drives in twin installations.
-   Installation hardware, types A, B, C and J: propeller cone kit M16 872614 or M20 872549, propeller nut 3851334, thrust rings 3858458 and 3858457.
