# 983163 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta shim, 0.35 mm thick, listed for 17 applications across DPH and D drives. Several other 0.35 mm shims appear in this run under different fitment listings, so thickness alone will not identify the part and the application listing has to be matched as well.
