Volvo Penta 3888916 is a genuine OEM exhaust bellows kit used in Volvo Penta sterndrive service. Current public Volvo Penta parts sources consistently identify this number as an exhaust bellows kit that includes the bellows and clamps needed for the exhaust connection in the gimbal ring and pivot housing assembly. The strongest public fitment trail places it with later SX, DPS, and FWD sterndrive families, making it the correct OEM replacement where part number 3888916 is specified.
Key Features
- Genuine Volvo Penta OEM exhaust bellows kit, part number 3888916.

- Public Volvo Penta reseller references place it at diagram reference number 22 in the gimbal ring and pivot housing schematic.

Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment trail for Volvo Penta 3888916 is by drive family rather than by a single engine model. Current public references consistently associate this exhaust bellows kit with Volvo Penta sterndrives including SX-A, SX-D, DPS-A, DPS-B, DPS-D, FWD-B1, FWD-B2, FWD-D1, and FWD-D2 family applications, with multiple listings summarizing it as fitting SX-A, DPS-A and newer stern drives, and FWD models. Because exhaust bellows fitment follows the sterndrive and transom assembly rather than engine size alone, the safest fitment standard is the exact Volvo Penta serial-number-based drive diagram for the unit being serviced.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Fitment can vary by drive family, transom assembly version, and serial-number range. Confirm Volvo Penta part number 3888916 against the exact drive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta gimbal ring / pivot housing breakdown before ordering, especially on sterndrive applications where similar bellows kits can look close but fit different housings.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this exhaust bellows kit when the existing bellows shows cracking, splitting, stiffness, clamp-area damage, leakage, or age-related deterioration. It is also a smart replacement during adjacent sterndrive or transom-service work when the exhaust connection is already open and the existing bellows has visible wear.
Installation Notes
Match this kit to the exact Volvo Penta drive before installation. Current public references place it in the gimbal ring and pivot housing assembly and identify it as an exhaust bellows kit with clamps, so confirming both the part number and exact drive diagram position is the safest cross-check before ordering or reassembly. Inspect the related bellows seating surfaces and clamp condition at the same time to help avoid repeat exhaust or water-intrusion issues after service.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current public cross-reference sources associate Volvo Penta 3888916 with related aftermarket numbers 18-1076, REC3888916, and CEF500536K. Use 3888916 as the primary Volvo Penta ordering number for this listing.
Parts Desk Insight
Exhaust bellows are one of those parts that are much cheaper to replace while the drive is already apart than after they start leaking or deteriorating further. Matching the exact Volvo Penta drive family first is usually much safer than ordering by bellows appearance alone.
