3885853 Volvo Penta FH5 Rear Stainless Steel Duoprop Propeller – DPS-B Helical Spline | Genuine Used Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta FH5 Rear Stainless Steel Duoprop Propeller - Part Number: 3885853

A genuine used Volvo Penta Type FH5 rear propeller for DPS-B sterndrives with helical or spiral propeller-shaft splines.

This right-hand stainless-steel rear propeller is one half of the matched FH5 Duoprop set. It must be paired with FH5 front propeller 3885852; mixing an FH5 rear with another FH size, a straight-spline Type F propeller or a mismatched front propeller can cause poor performance and drivetrain loading.

🔌 Function

The rear propeller counter-rotates with the front propeller to recover rotational energy and produce straight, efficient thrust. The matched FH5 pair improves grip, acceleration, low-speed control and smoothness while the rubber hub reduces shock loading.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Blade edges are bent, cracked or cavitation-damaged
• Rubber hub bush slips or deteriorates
• Helical splines are worn, fretted or corroded
• Propeller is mismatched with the front propeller or FH size
• Vibration develops after impact damage or an incorrect repair
