Volvo Penta 3852111 is a genuine OEM gasket commonly identified in public listings as a thermostat housing gasket. Available parts listings also describe it as being used with an aluminum exhaust manifold on select marine gasoline engine applications. Based on the public fitment trail, this is best treated as a model-specific sealing gasket rather than a universal gasket by size alone.
Key Features
- Genuine Volvo Penta part number 3852111
- Commonly described as a thermostat housing gasket
- Used as a sealing gasket in select marine engine cooling / housing applications
- Public listings also note use with aluminum exhaust manifold applications
- Best matched by exact part number, engine model, and serial number
Engine Compatibility
Public fitment listings commonly associate Volvo Penta 3852111 with several gasoline engine families, including 4.3L all models, 5.0 FiP / FLP / GiP / GLP / GL / GXi / OSi, 5.7 all models except OSi, and 5.8 all models. Some public cross-brand listings also tie this gasket to certain Mercury Marine applications, but for Marisol Marine it is safest to treat it as a serial-number-confirmed Volvo Penta application part.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Please confirm fitment by engine model and serial number before ordering. Public listings are fairly consistent on the gasket identity, but engine coverage is seller-listed rather than factory-fitment-expanded in the search results reviewed here.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this gasket whenever the thermostat housing or related sealing surface is removed and the existing gasket is leaking, torn, compressed, brittle, or no longer sealing correctly. This service guidance is based on the part’s published role as a thermostat housing gasket.
Installation Notes
Install only on the correct Volvo Penta application and verify the mating housing / manifold setup before ordering. Matching by part number, engine model, serial number, and removed-part comparison is the safest approach.

- Public aftermarket cross-references commonly seen: MerCruiser 27-53045-1, 27-33918, 8M2021920, OMC 312797, 3701777; these should not be treated as direct substitutes without confirming the exact application.
Parts Desk Insight
The strongest public data on 3852111 is that it is a Volvo Penta thermostat housing gasket with a fitment trail centered around several older gasoline engine families. For Marisol Marine customers, the cleanest sale is against the exact engine serial number and the existing housing/manifold setup rather than broad engine-family assumptions.
