3841706 Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

It is the shortest of the three tie bars offered: 3841707 covers 840 to 1220 mm on the same drives, and 3594639 covers 1000 to 1240 mm on DPH and DPR. It weighs 3.198 kg, covers 378 applications across D, V and TSK series installations, and supersedes part number 3850885, catalogued earlier as a link rod kit.

🔌 Function

Links the two drives of a twin installation so they steer together, keeping them parallel and sharing the steering load.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• The two drives no longer pointing the same way, so the boat pulls to one side
• Play or clonking felt at the helm before the drives respond
• Ball joints or rod ends worn, stiff or with torn boots
• Tie bar bent, corroded or with a seized adjuster
• Locknuts or retainers loose, letting the length drift

🛠️ Service Notes

• Steering tie bars are a safety-critical link, so check the rod ends and their fasteners at every service and renew them on condition
• Measure the centre-to-centre distance between the engines first: 660 to 1040 mm takes this bar, 840 to 1220 mm takes 3841707, and DPH or DPR installations take 3594639
• Set the length so both drives are parallel, then lock the adjusters and check full lock-to-lock travel with no fouling
• Three tie bars are listed and the centre distance and drive type are what separate them: 3841707 covers 840-1220 mm on SX/DP-S; 3594639 covers 1000-1240 mm on DPH/DPR
• Measure the actual centre distance between the engines before ordering
