Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable application for 3853972 is Volvo Penta sterndrive transom plate / flywheel housing / mounts assemblies where it serves as the rear mount. Current OEM diagram references confirm that application in 4.3L / 262 CID V6 sterndrive parts diagrams, so the safest fitment language is by exact transom-plate and mount assembly rather than by a broad engine-family claim.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Verify fitment by exact Volvo Penta model, serial number, and transom plate / flywheel housing / mounts diagram before ordering. With a part like 3853972, matching the exact rear-mount position in the correct assembly breakdown is the safest way to avoid ordering a similar-looking cushion from another mount setup.
When This Part Needs Replacement
This part is typically replaced when the original rubber cushion is cracked, compressed, oil-soaked, hardened, or no longer supporting the rear mount correctly. That service guidance is a practical inference based on its documented role as a rear mount / transom plate rubber cushion.
Installation Notes
Install 3853972 only after confirming the exact Volvo Penta transom plate and mount diagram for the drive being serviced. Current OEM diagrams place it at item 15 in the rear-mount position, with adjacent hardware including the rear mount-to-plate screw, washer, locknut, and rear mount washers, so assembly order and surrounding hardware should be checked carefully during service.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current references reviewed show 3853972 as the active Volvo Penta part number. The sources checked consistently list this reference as Rubber Cushion or Rubber cushion, transom plate without a clearly stated superseded replacement number.
Parts Desk Insight
This is an easy part to misorder because some listings emphasize the generic "rubber cushion" name while the actual diagram position matters more. Matching 3853972 by the rear mount location in the transom plate / flywheel housing / mounts diagram is usually the better move than ordering by name alone.
