21657162 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Type I is the aluminium Duoprop range for Aquamatic DPS and DPS-A sterndrives, the drives with straight propeller-shaft splines. The patented blade geometry and large active propeller diameter give optimal performance and fuel efficiency over the entire speed range, together with smooth running, excellent grip and manoeuvrability. Squeeze casting and a special high-strength aluminium alloy make Type I propellers stronger and more durable than traditional die-cast propellers, and four layers of paint give excellent anti-corrosion performance. This is the I2 rear propeller; the matching front propeller is 21260642, and the pair is also listed as set 21258482. 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, V, DPS
• HP Range: 130-220 HP

🔌 Function

The rear propeller works with the matched front propeller to produce efficient counter-rotating thrust, strong acceleration and improved steering control.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the hull that comes in at a particular speed
• Loss of top speed with the engine reaching or exceeding its rated revs
• Blade tips and trailing edges chipped, curled or bent after grounding or striking debris
• White powdery corrosion or heavy pitting on the aluminium blades and hub
• Fishing line or rope found wound behind the hub, with the propeller-shaft seal weeping

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew or refurbish as a matched pair with the front propeller 21260642 - a damaged half against a new one leaves the drive out of balance
• Type I runs on the straight splines of the DPS and DPS-A drives and will not fit the helical-spline DPS-B, which takes the Type IH range
• Check the drive anodes and the propeller shaft seal, and clear any line from behind the hub, while the propeller is off
• Always use type F or FH stainless steel propellers in 6-cylinder diesel engines or engines exceeding 240 hp or capable of speeds above 38 knots (45 mph).
• Type I sets replace the earlier Type D sets. Do not mix Type D and Type I propellers - always use propellers of the same type and size on the drive, or on both drives in twin installations.
• Type IH is the matching range for DPS-B drives, which have helical (spiral) splines. A Type I propeller will not fit a DPS-B drive.
• Installation hardware for types D, I, IH, F and FH: rear propeller nut 21631162 (included in Type I propeller sets), front propeller nut 3851569.
