Volvo Penta 40005275 is a genuine Xact control cable used for mechanical throttle/shift control applications. Current Volvo Penta parts references list 40005275 as an active genuine control cable, and current product listings identify it as a 6 ft Xact low-friction control cable. Volvo Penta's Xact cable line is described as designed for smoother, easier throttle and shift operation with reduced lost motion.
Key Features
Current references show 40005275 as a genuine Volvo Penta control cable in the Xact series. Reviewed product listings describe Xact cables as using stainless-steel and plated-brass fittings, with an all-stainless armoured strand core for greater flexibility and tighter routing in more difficult installations. Current seller references also identify this exact part as the 6 ft version.
Engine Compatibility
Current public references for 40005275 are stronger on cable specification than on a broad engine-by-engine fitment list. The clearest reviewed sources identify it as a Volvo Penta Xact mechanical control cable rather than tying it to one specific engine family, so fitment should be confirmed by the boat's existing control setup, required cable length, cable-end type, and the exact Volvo Penta control system in use. Volvo Penta also directs owners to identify the correct engine, shield, or drive when selecting genuine parts.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Control cables can vary by control head type, shift/throttle function, cable travel, end fittings, and routing length. Confirm Volvo Penta 40005275 by serial-number-based parts lookup where possible, then match the installed cable length and end configuration before ordering. Current reviewed sources also show this number superseding earlier part number 3851040.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this cable when throttle or shift operation becomes stiff, inconsistent, sticky, or develops excess lost motion, especially on long or tight routing runs. Because current Volvo Penta Xact cable references emphasize low friction and reduced lost motion as core performance benefits, noticeable drag or imprecise control feel is a strong service indicator that the cable may be due for replacement.
Installation Notes
Match the replacement by exact length first. Current reviewed sources identify 40005275 as a 6 ft cable, so that is one of the most important buying and installation checkpoints. On control-cable installations, smooth routing with no tight kinks or forced bends is critical to preserving low-friction operation, especially when replacing an older cable in a constrained rigging path.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current reviewed references show Volvo Penta 40005275 as the active OEM number, with current seller references noting it was superseded from 3851040. Current confirmed ordering number is 40005275.
Parts Desk Insight
For control cables, the best buying checkpoint is usually not the engine model alone but the exact control-system setup: cable length, function, and terminal style. For 40005275, the strongest public checkpoints are that it is a genuine Volvo Penta Xact cable and that current listings identify it as the 6 ft version, which makes existing-cable comparison the cleanest way to avoid an ordering mistake.
