The Volvo Penta Drive Unit 22491361 is a genuine Volvo Penta DPS-D OX / OceanX DuoProp drive unit with a 2.14:1 gear ratio. It is used in Volvo Penta marine propulsion applications where the existing drive specification and parts diagram call for this exact DPS-D OX drive-unit number and ratio. Similar OceanX DuoProp drive units can look alike externally, but the internal gear ratio and drive configuration must match the boat's propulsion package.

Application Compatibility
Use this drive unit where the Volvo Penta propulsion diagram confirms 22491361 and the installation requires the DPS-D OX / OceanX DuoProp 2.14:1 drive configuration.
Related DPS-D OX drive units in the same family use different ratios, including 22491356 at 1.78:1 and 22491362 at 2.32:1, so ratio confirmation is essential before replacement.
Fitment Notice
Drive-unit fitment depends on the exact Volvo Penta drive model, gear ratio, transom assembly, upper/lower configuration, propeller setup, engine package, and serial number. The 2.14:1 ratio is the key identifying detail for 22491361. Do not match this part by appearance alone.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace the drive unit when inspection confirms major drive damage, gear failure, water intrusion, bearing damage, housing damage, severe corrosion, impact damage, or internal wear that cannot be corrected with normal resealing or component-level service. Common signs include gear noise, metal in the drive oil, shifting problems, water-contaminated gear oil, propeller-shaft damage, or loss of propulsion under load.
Installation Notes
Installation should follow the Volvo Penta service procedure for the exact drive and transom package. Inspect the transom shield, bellows, shift cable, steering helmet/fork components, trim cylinders, propeller shaft seals, gear oil condition, anodes, mounting hardware, and propeller set during replacement. Confirm whether the replacement need is for the complete drive unit, lower drive section, or another drive assembly before ordering related service parts.

Parts Desk Insight
The key detail on this drive unit is the 2.14:1 DPS-D OX ratio. Similar OceanX DuoProp drive units can look nearly identical, but ratio and drive configuration determine the correct match. Matching the serial number, existing drive tag, and Volvo Penta propulsion diagram helps ensure the correct replacement drive is ordered.
