3588226 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Type C is the stainless steel Duoprop range for the classic Volvo Penta 280, 290 and DP Aquamatic sterndrives, and is the upgrade Volvo Penta offers for enhanced performance, strength and durability. Greater strength allows thinner blades, which give better acceleration and a higher top speed than a comparable aluminium propeller, and the stainless steel makes the propellers durable and highly resistant to cavitation, damage and corrosion. A shock-absorbing rubber bushing and galvanic isolation are built into the hub. This number supplies the complete C6 pair, front propeller 3587868 and rear propeller 3587874. Every set of Duoprop propellers is designed, tested and manufactured together, so the front and rear propellers of a dimension belong to each other.

🔌 Function

Converts engine torque into thrust through two contra-rotating propellers on one shaft, recovering swirl that a single propeller would waste.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Speed-related vibration through the hull
• Engine revs high with little thrust
• Blades bent, chipped or eroded
• Rubber hub broken down and slipping
• Cavitation pitting along the blade faces

🛠️ Service Notes

• This is published at the same 15.218 kg as the C5 set 3588225, so the weight does not tell the two apart - order by the dimension code your boat is propped for
• Fit the set complete and renew the locking hardware; check the drive's anodes and seals while the propellers are off
• Type C stainless is what Volvo Penta specifies for six-cylinder diesel engines, engines over 240 hp and boats capable of more than 38 knots (45 mph)
• Volvo Penta specifies type C stainless steel propellers for 6-cylinder diesel engines, engines exceeding 240 hp, and boats capable of speeds above 38 knots (45 mph).
• Installation hardware, types A, B, C and J: propeller cone kit M16 872614 or M20 872549, propeller nut 3851334, thrust rings 3858458 and 3858457.
