You have 30 days to request a return. All sale items are final sale.
Volvo Penta 3586461 is a genuine OEM anode for select SX single-prop and DP-S / DP-SM duo-prop sterndrive applications. Volvo Penta’s parts shop identifies 3586461 as an anode for the transom shield on Aquamatic sterndrives, not as a trim tab anode.
Current Volvo Penta references also show that the active OEM 3586461 part is commonly sold as an aluminum anode for these drives. Volvo Penta’s current corrosion guidance states that its aluminum anodes are recommended for saltwater and brackish water use and are more efficient than zinc.
Key Features
- Genuine Volvo Penta OEM anode
- OEM part number: 3586461
- Fits the transom shield location
- Used on select SX, DP-S, and DP-SM sterndrives
- Commonly sold in the current OEM market as aluminum
- Helps protect the transom shield and nearby drive components from galvanic corrosion.
Engine Compatibility
Supported fitment references associate 3586461 with select Volvo Penta SX and DP-S / DP-SM sterndrives, including many SX-M / SX-C / SX-R family applications and related DP-SM variants. Fitment should still be confirmed by exact drive model and serial number.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Fitment should be verified by Volvo Penta drive model, serial number, and installed anode shape. Matching by OEM part number 3586461 and the transom shield location is the safest method.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this anode when it is heavily wasted, pitted, loose, cracked, or significantly reduced in size. Sacrificial anodes should be inspected regularly because protection drops as material is consumed. Volvo Penta’s current guidance favors aluminum for ongoing saltwater and brackish-water protection.
Installation Notes
Install on a clean bare-metal contact surface and do not paint the anode. Confirm the installed part matches the 3586461 transom shield anode pattern before installation.
Alternate / Superseded Part Numbers when applicable
- 3586461
- 3854130-AL / 3854130A on current aftermarket cross-references for the same pattern.
Parts Desk Insight
The main correction on this part is application: 3586461 is not the trim tab anode. Current supported references place it at the transom shield, and current OEM market references show it as an aluminum part rather than a zinc trim-tab anode.
