3594639 Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta connecting kit, the tie bar that links the drives of a twin engine installation, and the only one of the three listed for DPH and DPR drives rather than SX and DP-S. It is published for 1000 to 1240 mm between engine centres, weighs 5.443 kg and is listed for 44 applications across D series engines, TSK, DPH and DPR drives. Its span overlaps the SX and DP-S bars, so the drive family is the first thing to match, not the length.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: D, TSK, DPH, DPR
• HP Range: 225-400 HP

🔌 Function

Ties the two drives together mechanically so they steer as a pair, holding both at the same angle whatever the load on the helm.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Drives running at different angles at the same helm position
• Knocking or clunking from the tie bar joints when the helm is moved
• Rod ends worn so play can be felt by hand
• Corrosion or seizure along the bar and at the adjusters
• Steering feeling heavy or notchy through the turn

🛠️ Service Notes

• Two spans have been published for this bar - our note gives 1050 to 1240 mm and both the variant listing and the accessories catalogue give 1000 to 1240 mm, so measure your engine centres and confirm the span before ordering
• Kit 3594638 covers the shorter 950 to 1030 mm span across the same 44 applications, and only 0.8 kg separates the two, so weight is no guide
• Set and lock the drive alignment after fitting, then check for binding through full lock
• Three tie bars are listed and the centre distance and drive type are what separate them: 3841706 covers 660-1040 mm on SX/DP-S; 3841707 covers 840-1220 mm on SX/DP-S
• Measure the actual centre distance between the engines before ordering
