The Volvo Penta 23986753 is a genuine OEM aluminum anode kit for select Volvo Penta sterndrive applications. Volvo Penta lists 23986753 as an anode kit, and current fitment references identify it as the newer aluminum replacement for older zinc part 872793.
Because this is an aluminum anode kit, it is the correct material choice for saltwater and brackish water use. Volvo Penta’s current anode guidance states that aluminum anodes are recommended for salt and brackish water applications, making this kit the updated OEM-style choice for drives using this pattern.

Engine Compatibility
Current fitment references associate 23986753 with older Volvo Penta sterndrive families including 290, 290A, 290B, 290D, 290SP, 290SP-A, 290A-DP, 290-DP, DP-A, DP-A1, DP-A2, DP-B, DP-B1, DP-C, DP-C1, DP-D, DP-D1, DP-D2, DP-E, DP-G, SP-A1, SP-A2, SP-C, and SP-E. Fitment should still be confirmed by exact drive model and serial number before ordering.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Please verify fitment using your Volvo Penta drive model and serial number before ordering. This is especially important on older Volvo Penta drives, where prior service history and mixed replacement parts can affect what is currently installed. Matching by OEM part number 23986753 is the safest method.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this anode kit when the installed anode is heavily wasted, pitted, cracked, loose, or significantly reduced in size. Sacrificial anodes should be inspected regularly during haul-out and routine drive service so corrosion protection is maintained before the anode is fully consumed. Volvo Penta notes that anodes are designed to protect your product by corroding first.
Installation Notes
Install on a clean bare-metal contact surface and do not paint the anode. Confirm the installed anode shape and mounting arrangement against your drive before installation. This part is commonly described as the triangle-shaped / hook-up fork style used on compatible outdrives.

Parts Desk Insight
One useful detail about 23986753 is that it reflects Volvo Penta’s move from older zinc references to aluminum for many saltwater and brackish-water applications. That makes it a strong OEM replacement choice when servicing older Volvo Penta drives that originally circulated under 872793, while still matching the genuine Volvo Penta parts system.
