Parts diagrams place it in the lower gear housing beside the propeller nut, splined sleeve, lock plate, and propeller-cone components, identifying it as a specific IPS drive seal rather than a general engine seal. It is confirmed across multiple IPS drive generations from IPS-A through IPS-F and IPS10-A. Because several sealing components occupy nearby positions in the same lower gear assembly — including sealing-ring kit 3842290 and O-rings 925096 and 968241 — the correct part must be confirmed from the exact diagram position for the specific IPS drive being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS-A — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS-B — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS-C — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS-D — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS-E — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS-F — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS10-A — lower gear unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConfirm the exact IPS drive model and lower-gear-unit diagram before ordering.

Use the applicable Volvo Penta IPS workshop procedure when installing this seal or performing any lower gear unit service.

Matching the exact diagram position for 3586568 is the only reliable method — do not order by appearance or size. If the lower gear unit is being opened for any reason, it is worth inspecting all sealing components in the assembly at the same time, as the sealing-ring kit 3842290 and adjacent O-rings are inexpensive relative to the labour cost of a repeat lower gear service on an IPS drive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564002934820,"sku":"3586568","price":173.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/b2eeb2b1-6918-455c-a68a-22b51b78a5f1.png?v=1788671080","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-523","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
