Installation Notes
Proper installation is critical for a leak-free seal. Ensure both mounting surfaces on the pivot housing and sterndrive are scraped clean of any old gasket material, residue, or corrosion. The surfaces must be smooth and dry before placing the new gasket. Tighten bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque sequence and values to ensure even pressure.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my pivot housing gasket is failing?
Signs of a failing pivot housing gasket include visible water leaks around the mounting area between the drive and the transom shield, especially when the boat is in the water. You may also notice water intrusion inside the bellows or signs of corrosion on the mating surfaces upon inspection.
Is this a direct fit for a Volvo Penta DPS-A drive?
Yes, this gasket is designed as a direct replacement for the OEM gasket on Volvo Penta DPS-A drives, as well as SX-A, DPS-B, DP-H, DPH, and DPR models. It is cross-referenced to replace OEM part number 3889788.
Does this gasket require sealant during installation?
Generally, modern gaskets like this one are designed to be installed dry. However, always consult your specific Volvo Penta service manual for the drive model you are working on. Some mechanics may apply a very thin film of gasket sealant as a dressing, but it is not always a requirement.
What happens if I reuse the old gasket?
Reusing an old pivot housing gasket is not recommended. Gaskets compress and deform during their service life (a "crush" fit) and will not provide a reliable seal if reinstalled. This can lead to water leaks, causing significant and costly damage to your sterndrive components.
Is this part the same as Volvo Penta part number 3883572?
Yes, this gasket replaces the older, superseded Volvo Penta part number 3883572. The current OEM number is 3889788, which this part is a direct replacement for.
