• Official Product Type: Pivot Pin – Transom Pivot Housing
• System: Sterndrive Transom / Pivot Housing Assembly
• Diagram Position: Position 31 in the DPH-A Marine Propulsion pivot-housing and shield schematic
• Supersedes / Related Numbers: See 3809887 and 22093448 for adjacent/updated pivot-pin positions in related shield assemblies
• Weight: Approx. 0.25 lb (112 g)

The 3862809 is a genuine OEM Volvo Penta pivot pin used in the transom pivot-housing assembly on DPH-A sterndrive installations. It occupies diagram position 31 in the DPH-A pivot-housing schematic alongside shield 3809881, spindle 3862810, and bushings 3863092/3863093. The same pin also appears at a pivot position in closely related DPH-C transom shield assembly references. Pivot-housing hardware is precision-fit — an exact OEM match is essential for reliable steering and transom articulation.

Compatible Applications

• Volvo Penta DPH-A Marine Propulsion – transom pivot-housing assembly (diagram position 31)
• Volvo Penta DPH-C transom shield assembly – adjacent pivot-pin position (confirm by serial number)
• Confirm exact fitment by drive serial number and the Volvo Penta pivot-housing schematic for your specific DPH generation

Serial Number Notice: Pivot-housing hardware varies by drive generation, shield version, and production break. Nearby pins in the same assembly can look identical but differ in length, diameter, or retention method. Always cross-reference your drive serial number against the correct Volvo Penta transom schematic before ordering.

When to Replace

Replace this pivot pin when it shows wear, corrosion, scoring, or looseness in the pivot-housing bore, or when it is damaged during transom or steering disassembly. Inspect it whenever the surrounding pivot-housing, spindle, or bushing hardware is already apart — reusing worn pivot hardware increases the risk of steering play and repeat labour.

Service Interval

Inspect pivot-housing hardware during annual sterndrive service or any time the transom assembly is disassembled for steering or drive service. Replace the pin if any wear, corrosion, or scoring is found. Pivot hardware is a safety-critical component in the steering and drive articulation system.

Installation Notes

Before installation, confirm the part number and diagram position against the Volvo Penta transom schematic for your specific drive serial number. Inspect the mating bore, bushing surfaces (3863092/3863093), spindle (3862810), and all retaining hardware before reassembly. On pivot-housing assemblies, dimensional fit and exact schematic match are more reliable than visual size comparison alone. Replace O-rings and inspect all adjacent hardware while the assembly is open.

Technical FAQ

Q: How do I know if this is the correct pivot pin for my drive?
A: Look up your drive serial number in the Volvo Penta DPH transom and pivot-housing schematic. Part 3862809 occupies position 31 in the DPH-A assembly. If your schematic shows a different part number at that position, use that number instead.

Q: What is the difference between 3862809, 3809887, and 22093448?
A: These three pivot pins occupy different or updated positions across the DPH transom shield assembly family. The 3862809 is confirmed at position 31 in the DPH-A diagram. The 3809887 and 22093448 appear at adjacent or updated positions in related DPH shield assemblies. Always use your serial-number-based parts diagram to identify the correct pin for your position.

Q: Are the spindle and bushings included?
A: No. This listing is the pivot pin only. Spindle 3862810 and bushings 3863092/3863093 are serviced as separate parts.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: Ideal for customers rebuilding or servicing a DPH-A pivot-housing assembly who need to replace worn or corroded pivot-pin hardware. Most often ordered alongside the companion spindle and bushings during a full pivot-housing rebuild.

Common Issues: The most common mistake with pivot-housing pins is substituting by overall length or diameter without checking the schematic position — nearby pins in the same assembly can look interchangeable but are not. Customers also sometimes order this pin when their drive actually references an updated number at that position; always confirm against your drive’s serial-number-based diagram before ordering.
