🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Aquamatic drive with a 1.96:1 ratio, weighing 91.63 kg and listed for nine applications across D series engines and DPH drives. It supersedes 22079441. At barely half the weight of the other drives in this ratio family it is clearly a different build, so the ratio must be confirmed against the boat.

⚙️ Key Features

  • 91.63 kg

🔌 Function

Is the complete sterndrive unit, carrying engine power through the transom and gearcase at a 1.96:1 reduction while steering and trimming the boat.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Whine, growl or rumble from the drive under way
  • Vibration through the hull that changes with speed
  • Milky or discoloured gear oil on the drain sample
  • Metal particles on the drain plug magnet
  • Steering or trim slow, stiff or failing to hold

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Confirm the ratio against the boat before ordering - this one is listed at close to half the published mass of the other drives in the same ratio family, so it appears to be a different build and should be checked before committing
  • Compare the cost of the remanufactured drive catalogued for the same fitment
  • Plan lifting and handling in advance
