Volvo Penta 3888917 is a genuine OEM upper gasket kit used in Volvo Penta sterndrive upper gear housing service.

Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment trail for Volvo Penta 3888917 is with Volvo Penta sterndrive upper gear unit applications, especially SX-A, DPS-A, DPS-B, DPS-B1, and FWD families. Because the public fitment trail is strongest by drive family rather than by a single engine list, the safest fitment standard is the exact Volvo Penta drive serial number and upper gear housing parts breakdown for the sterndrive being serviced.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Fitment can vary by drive family, upper gear housing revision, and serial-number range. Confirm Volvo Penta part number 3888917 against the exact drive serial number and the correct upper gear housing diagram before ordering, especially on drives that may have had prior seal, bearing, or upper-unit service.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this kit whenever the upper gear housing sealing area has been opened, or when the original gaskets, seals, or O-rings show gear-oil leakage, flattening, hardening, or damage during teardown. Because this is a grouped upper-unit sealing kit rather than a single gasket, replacing the service components together is often the cleaner way to avoid repeat labor on the same upper-unit repair.
Installation Notes
Install only on clean, undamaged mating surfaces and verify the kit matches the exact upper-unit service point before assembly. Current public references support this as an upper gear housing sealing kit, so matching the exact drive family and service diagram first is the best cross-check before disassembly or reassembly.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current cross-reference sources associate Volvo Penta 3888917 with 876392 in the same upper-unit sealing group.

Parts Desk Insight
With upper gear housing service, the expensive part is usually reopening the drive, not the sealing kit itself. Matching the exact serial-number-based upper-unit breakdown first is usually the easiest way to avoid a small leak turning into a second repair.
