23588508 Dummy | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta dummy unit for the DPI-A drive, fitted where a functional component is not installed so the opening remains correctly closed and faired.

🔌 Function

The dummy occupies and seals a position where the optional component it substitutes for is not fitted, maintaining the correct external form and keeping water and debris out. It preserves the drive's intended hydrodynamic shape.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Water ingress at the position the dummy closes
• Cracking, distortion or impact damage
• Corrosion or pitting in the marine environment
• Loose or missing fixings allowing movement
• Perished or damaged sealing face where it meets the housing

🛠️ Service Notes

• Confirm the drive is DPI-A rather than DPH before ordering - the two designations are not interchangeable on this dummy
• Renew the sealing ring or gasket at the joint when refitting, since it is what keeps water and debris out of the space behind the dummy
