854782 Propeller | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Type A is an earlier aluminium Duoprop range for the classic Volvo Penta 280, 290 and DP Aquamatic sterndrives. Volvo Penta has replaced the Type A propeller sets with Type J sets, but the Type A front and rear propellers are still sold individually as spare parts. This is the A9 front propeller; the matching rear propeller is 854792 - 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: AD, D, TMD, DP, HS, TAMD, KAD, KAMD

🔌 Function

The leading propeller of a counter-rotating Duoprop pair, taking the first bite of clean water and turning engine torque into thrust, with the rear propeller behind it sharing the load the drive is designed to carry.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the drive as revs come up
• Chipped, bent or torn blade edges
• Over-revving for the speed the boat is making
• Line or weed trapped behind the hub
• Pitting and erosion on the blade faces

🛠️ Service Notes

• Order by the A9 code marked on the propeller rather than by weight: only 46 grams separate it from the A8 front 854781; the same 3.175 kg is published for the A0 rear 872264, the A1 rear 854784, the A7 rear 854790, the B2 rear 854831 among the propellers listed here
• Check the matching rear 854792 for the same damage and keep both propellers at the same dimension
• Do not mix Type A, Type B and Type J propellers on a drive, and use propellers of the same type and size on the drive - or on both drives in a twin installation; Type J is the modern aluminium replacement covering both Type A and Type B sizes, but the sizes do not transfer directly - an A5 is not a J5 - so size an upgrade with your dealer, giving maximum boat speed and engine rpm
• Type J sizes are not equally transferred from Type A sizes - an A5 propeller does not correspond to a J5 propeller. Consult a Volvo Penta dealer for the right size, providing the maximum boat speed and engine rpm if possible.
• Do not mix Type A, B and J propellers. Always use propellers of the same type and size on the drive, or on both drives in twin installations.
• Installation hardware, types A, B, C and J: propeller cone kit M16 872614 or M20 872549, propeller nut 3851334, thrust rings 3858458 and 3858457. The spacer ring for the propeller cone, 853676, is only to be used with Type A propellers.
