Overview
The Volvo Penta 22230030 is a genuine OEM rubber engine mount cushion for selected Volvo Penta D3 marine diesel engines. It sits between the engine mounting bracket and the vessel mounting structure, supporting the engine while isolating normal engine vibration from the hull. Two cushions are required per applicable installation.
This is an engine mount vibration cushion — not a generic rubber isolator. The documented supersession chain is 21141907 → 21670821 → 22230030.

Serial Number & Fitment Notice
Engine mount configurations vary by D3 model, generation suffix, and serial number range. Confirm fitment using your complete engine model designation, suffix, and serial number against the applicable Volvo Penta D3 engine mounting diagram before ordering.

Dimensions & Weight
Approximate weight: 0.5 kg per cushion. Used with M18 mounting hardware (hex nuts, washers, and spring washers) in documented D3 applications. Exact cushion dimensions are not published in current Volvo Penta accessory literature — confirm by part number and serial number match to the engine mounting diagram.
When to Replace
Replace the rubber cushion when inspection shows cracking, separation, excessive compression, deterioration, oil contamination, distortion, or excessive engine movement. Worn engine mounts can contribute to increased vibration, noise, and driveline alignment problems. Inspect both cushions at the same time — if one is worn, the other is likely at a similar service age.
Installation Notes
Inspect the associated engine brackets, mounting studs, nuts, and washers whenever replacing the cushion. Published Volvo Penta diagrams show M18 hex nuts, washers, and spring washers used with 22230030 on applicable D3 installations. Engine alignment should be checked after mount replacement, particularly on installations using a shaft or sterndrive driveline connection.

Q: What causes engine mount cushion failure?
A: The most common causes are age-related rubber deterioration, oil contamination (which accelerates rubber breakdown), and excessive engine vibration from other mechanical issues. Inspect the mounts at every major service.
