Volvo Penta 23161266 is a genuine OEM shaft used in select Volvo Penta marine propulsion assemblies. Current parts references place this part directly in the D4-150A-G marine propulsion schematic, where it appears in the driveline assembly alongside the flexible coupling, bell housing, bushing, lip seal, ball bearing, and sensor kit components. Current Volvo Penta parts sources also show 23161266 as the updated replacement for earlier part number 21324794.

- Active OEM number replacing earlier Volvo Penta 21324794.
Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment for 23161266 is by marine propulsion assembly rather than a single narrow engine-only description. Current sources directly place it in D4-150A-G, and broader dealer compatibility references associate it with a wide range of Volvo Penta propulsion packages including DPH-A, DPH-C, DPH-D1, DPH-E, DPI-A, DPR-A, DPR-B, DPR-C, DPR-D, TSK DPH-A, TSK DPH-B, plus many D4 and D6 marine diesel variants including D4-210A-A/B, D4-225A-B/C/D/E/F, D4-230A-G, D4-260A-A/B/C/D/E/F, D4-270A-G, D4-300A-A/C/D/E/F/G, D4-320A-G, D6-280A-A/B/C/D/E, D6-300A-F/G, D6-310A-A/B/C/D/E, D6-330A-B/C/D/E/F, D6-340A-G, D6-350A-A/B, D6-370A-B/C/D/E/F, D6-380A-G, D6-400A-E/F/G, and D6-440A-G. Because shaft fitment can vary by drive family and propulsion package, final fitment should still be confirmed by serial number and the correct Volvo Penta diagram.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Match Volvo Penta part number 23161266 to your engine and drive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta marine propulsion diagram before ordering. Shaft and driveline parts can vary by propulsion package, coupling arrangement, and production break, even within closely related D4 and D6 applications.
When This Part Needs Replacement
This shaft should be replaced when it shows wear, scoring, deformation, bearing-surface damage, seal-contact wear, or damage found during driveline teardown. It is also worth inspecting anytime the coupling, bell housing, bearing, or nearby seal components are already apart. This service guidance is based on the part's placement in the marine propulsion assembly.
Installation Notes
Confirm the exact application in the correct Volvo Penta schematic before installation, and compare the removed shaft carefully against the replacement part. Inspect the related bushing, lip seal, bearing, snap rings, and coupling hardware before reassembly. On propulsion driveline parts, exact schematic match matters more than a quick visual comparison.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current reviewed sources show 23161266 as the active Volvo Penta OEM number. Current dealer and catalog references also show earlier part number 21324794 as superseded to 23161266.
Parts Desk Insight
With driveline shafts like this, the easy mistake is matching only by model family. Checking the exact propulsion schematic first usually saves time, especially when similar D4 and D6 packages can use different surrounding coupling and bearing hardware.
