About This Part
Genuine Volvo Penta 3587071 is the current OEM ignition and starter switch kit, replacing earlier switch 888001. It is used to control engine starting and stopping on selected Volvo Penta marine engines. The kit arrives complete and ready to install, including the switch assembly, two uniquely cut keys, a mounting nut, a marking label for the control panel, and installation instructions. Because each switch is supplied with a unique key cut, the key code tag included in the kit should be retained for future reference if a replacement key is ever needed.
Kit Contents
- Ignition / starter switch — main control unit
- 2 keys — uniquely cut to the switch; key code tag included for future reordering
- Plastic mounting nut — part number 859955, for securing the switch to the control panel
- Marking label — for control panel identification
- Installation instructions
Compatible Applications
- Selected Volvo Penta marine engines specifying ignition/starter switch 3587071 or earlier switch 888001
Confirm compatibility by engine model, serial number, and control panel diagram. Volvo Penta switch fitment can vary by engine generation and control panel configuration. If your existing switch is 888001, 3587071 is the current OEM replacement.
When to Replace
Replace the ignition/starter switch if it shows any of the following:
- Failure to engage the starter or start the engine
- Key not returning to the run position after starting
- Switch not cutting power to accessories or engine when turned to off
- Worn, damaged, or lost key
- Corrosion or moisture ingress into the switch housing
- Physical damage to the switch body or panel mounting
Installation Notes
Install using the supplied plastic mounting nut 859955 and follow the wiring diagram in the included installation instructions. Note the key code from the supplied tag and store it in a safe location before installation — this code is required if a replacement key is needed in the future. Confirm all wiring connections match the switch terminal layout specified in the Volvo Penta installation instructions before powering the system.

Parts Desk Insight
3587071 is the current Volvo Penta ignition/starter switch kit and the direct replacement for 888001. The most important step after installation is recording the key code from the supplied tag before the paperwork gets lost — without it, a lost or broken key requires a new switch kit rather than just a key replacement. This kit includes everything needed for a straightforward panel swap: switch, keys, mounting nut, label, and instructions. Confirm the wiring connections against the installation instructions before powering up, as ignition switch wiring varies by engine and control panel configuration.
