3856346 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Type D is the earlier aluminium Duoprop range for Aquamatic DPS and DPS-A sterndrives with straight propeller-shaft splines. Volvo Penta has replaced the Type D propeller sets with Type I sets, but the Type D front and rear propellers are still sold individually as spare parts. This is the D6 front propeller; the matching rear propeller is 3856356 - no complete set number is listed in this dimension. 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

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration that builds with revs
• Blade edges chipped, curled or torn
• Blades bent or pitch lost after hitting something
• Cavitation pitting across the blade faces
• Speed down for the same revs, or the engine over-revving

🛠️ Service Notes

• The matching rear propeller in D6 is 3856356
• Do not mix Type D and Type I propellers - run the same type and the same size on the drive, and on both drives in a twin installation
• Volvo directs 6-cylinder diesel engines, engines over 240 hp and boats capable of more than 38 knots (45 mph) to the stainless steel Type F or FH propellers rather than an aluminium Duoprop
• To upgrade from Type D to Type I, consult a Volvo Penta dealer for advice on the right propeller size for the boat, drive and engine.
• Installation hardware for types D, I, IH, F and FH: rear propeller nut 21631162, front propeller nut 3851569.
