23442954 Propeller Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta type T4 nibral propeller set for Volvo Penta IPS 1, IPS 10, specifically developed for IPS with D4 and D6 engines to give outstanding efficiency, onboard comfort and manoeuvrability. The set supplies the matched three-blade front propeller and four-blade rear propeller together. Volvo Penta IPS turns the propellers round to a forward-facing position, so the twin counter-rotating propellers pull the boat through the water rather than push it, and optimal interaction between the front and rear propeller holds performance and fuel efficiency across the whole speed range.

• 1 x four-blade rear propeller - Volvo Penta 24044434

🔌 Function

Supplies the complete counter-rotating pair for a forward facing pod: the front propeller carries the larger share of the load and the rear propeller recovers the swirl left in its wash and turns it back into thrust.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the hull that follows engine speed
• Top speed down, or the engine sitting outside its normal rev band
• Blade tips bent, chipped or cracked after a grounding or a strike
• Blade faces pitted by cavitation erosion
• Marine growth and corrosion around the blades and hubs at haul-out

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit both propellers from the set and keep them to the same Type code - the range runs TS3, TS4, TS5, TS6, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8, and mixing codes front to rear changes how the load is shared
• The IPS 1 and IPS 10 line cutter mounts to the rear propeller on the existing locking bolts, one per drive at 95 mm in 316 stainless steel, and adds no drag or fuel consumption
• With both propellers off, check the shaft splines and thrust faces, the drive's shaft seals for line damage, and the anodes before the new set goes on
• The type T/TS series runs TS3, TS4, TS5, TS6, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8 from moderate top speed to high top speed; T4 sits of 11 on that scale.
• Both propellers on a drive must carry the same type code - the front and rear are matched for torque distribution and mixing codes changes how the load is shared.
• Line cutter 23062729 is the one listed for Volvo Penta IPS 1, IPS 10.
• Volvo Penta water-resistant multi-purpose premium grease is recommended for propeller shafts and all other propeller components.
