🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta D8A4-A MP

⚙️ Key Features

• Expansion-tank spill containment
• Correct V8 closed-cooling profile
• Protects surrounding engine-room equipment
• Works with tank 21614836 and bracket 21614855
• Corrosion-resistant construction

🔌 Function

The plate catches minor coolant discharge from filling or cap venting and prevents it from running onto electrical or engine components.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Plate cracked or distorted
• Corrosion around mounting points
• Coolant bypassing the collection area
• Plate loose or rattling
• Drain path obstructed

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit the plate the way round the manual shows, so it does its job of keeping oil settled around the pickup as the boat moves
• Check it sits clear of the oil pickup, the level sensor and anything that moves, and that the sump can still drain fully
• Clean sludge and debris off the plate and out of the sump while it is out, and note what has collected there before refitting
• Renew the locking hardware on the fixings and tighten to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — a fastener dropped into a running sump does serious damage
• Renew the sump gasket or sealing compound whenever the pan has to come off to reach the plate
