Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is completely off and has cooled down. Secure the sterndrive in a raised position.
  2. Locate the old exhaust flap at the exhaust outlet on the sterndrive unit.
  3. Carefully pry off or remove the old, damaged flap. Be cautious not to damage the housing.
  4. Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the exhaust housing, removing any residue or marine growth.
  5. Align the new exhaust flap and press it firmly and evenly into place until it is fully seated.
  6. Check that the flap can move freely and creates a seal when closed.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this exhaust flap will fit my sterndrive?

This flap is specifically designed for Volvo Penta 290, SP (SP-A to SP-E), and DP (DP-A to DP-C) series sterndrives. The most reliable method is to cross-reference your existing part number with the OEM number 852644. Always verify compatibility before purchasing.

What are the signs of a failing exhaust flap?

Common symptoms of a worn or damaged exhaust flap include a distinct rattling or clattering noise from the exhaust area at idle, visible cracks or brittleness in the material, or pieces of the old flap breaking off. A complete failure can risk water ingestion into the engine.

How often should this non-return valve be replaced?

Replacement interval is not fixed, as it depends on usage (freshwater vs. saltwater) and environmental factors. We recommend inspecting the flap annually during routine maintenance and replacing it immediately if it appears stiff, brittle, cracked, or no longer seals correctly.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
