• Vibration or a knock felt through the hull under power

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 405 kg this is a freight-only item needing lifting gear and a supported handover, not a carried part
• The ratio must match the upper gear and, on twin installations, the unit on the other shaft
• Renew the shaft seals and gear oil at the same time and check the propellers for damage before running up
• The remanufactured exchange alternative for IPS2 at ratio 1,59 is 3801721
• The core criteria have to be met to gain the full advantage of a remanufactured IPS exchange unit - they are set out in the Core Management System (CMS), or ask your Volvo Penta support representative
