3851469 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Type F is the stainless steel Duoprop range for Aquamatic DPS and DPS-A sterndrives with straight propeller-shaft splines, 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, while the high strength stainless steel adds excellent durability and corrosion resistance. A shock-absorbing rubber bushing and galvanic isolation make it a matched fit for the DPS drive. This is the F9 front propeller; the matching rear propeller is 3851479, and the pair is also listed as set 3851499. Every set of Duoprop propellers is designed, tested and manufactured together, so the front and rear propellers of a dimension belong to each other.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: D, XDP, V, DP, DPS
• HP Range: 130-220 HP

🔌 Function

Forms the forward half of a Duoprop counter-rotating pair, taking the larger share of the thrust and handing a straightened flow back to the rear propeller.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration that builds with revs and eases when you throttle back
• Blade edges chipped, curled or bent after a strike
• Loss of top speed, or the engine over-revving against the same load
• Drive slipping under acceleration as the hub loses its grip
• Fishing line or weed wound tight behind the hub

🛠️ Service Notes

• The matching rear propeller in F9 is 3851479, and the pair is also sold as set 3851499
• Ring 3851600 belongs to the installation hardware for the F7, F8, F9, FH7, FH8 and FH9 propellers, alongside front propeller nut 3851569 and rear propeller nut 21631162
• Check the spline form before ordering - Type F is for the straight-spline DPS and DPS-A drives, and a helical-spline drive needs the Type FH propeller of the same size
• Volvo Penta specifies type F or FH stainless steel propellers for 6-cylinder diesel engines, engines exceeding 240 hp, and boats capable of speeds above 38 knots (45 mph).
• Type FH is the matching range for DPS-B drives, which have helical (spiral) splines. A Type F propeller will not fit a DPS-B drive.
