Volvo Penta 3589522 is a genuine OEM plate used in select Volvo Penta sterndrive upper gear housing assemblies. Current parts references identify it as the plate paired with pressure plate 3852561 in DP-SMTD1 marine propulsion diagrams, and dealer listings also describe it as a thrust plate used in upper gear housing and driveshaft housing applications.
Key Features
- Genuine Volvo Penta OEM part number 3589522.
- Identified in current Volvo Penta schematic references as Plate, schematic object key 6.
- Used in DP-SMTD1 / Marine Propulsion upper gear housing assemblies.
- Commonly described in dealer listings as a thrust plate for upper gear housing use.
- Dealer weight references place it at approximately 0.02 to 0.022 lb.
Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment for 3589522 is by upper gear housing and sterndrive assembly rather than by a single engine long-block family. Current references place it in DP-SMTD1 marine propulsion schematics, and broader catalog listings also associate it with Volvo SX driveshaft housing components and certain Cobra upper gearcase applications through cross-reference channels. The safest fitment path is to match this plate to the exact Volvo Penta drive schematic and serial-number-based application before ordering.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Match Volvo Penta part number 3589522 to your drive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta upper gear housing diagram before ordering. Drive-side plates and adjacent hardware can vary by sterndrive family, production break, and housing version, even when the surrounding assembly looks very similar.
When This Part Needs Replacement
This plate should be replaced when it shows wear, scoring, deformation, corrosion, or damage during upper gear housing service. It is also worth inspecting anytime the surrounding upper housing, pressure plate, seal, or related drive hardware is already apart, since wear in this area can lead to repeat labor if reused in poor condition. This service guidance is an inference based on the part's placement in the upper gear housing assembly and dealer descriptions identifying it as a thrust plate.
Installation Notes
Confirm the exact application in the correct Volvo Penta schematic before installation, and compare the removed part carefully against the replacement plate. Inspect the mating surfaces, adjacent pressure plate, and surrounding upper gear housing components before reassembly. In drive-housing assemblies, exact schematic match matters more than a quick visual comparison.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current dealer listings continue to show 3589522 as the active Volvo Penta OEM number. Cross-reference listings also associate it with OMC 3852561, Volvo 3852561, GLM12661, and 92-12661 in related thrust-plate style references, which are useful comparison numbers when verifying the exact application.
Parts Desk Insight
With drive-housing plates like this, the easy mistake is matching only by shape. Checking the exact upper gear housing schematic first usually saves time, especially when nearby plates and pressure plates in the same assembly can look more interchangeable than they really are.
