{"product_id":"volvo-553","title":"Volvo Penta Upper Gear Housing Thrust Plate Starboard 3589524","description":"\u003cp\u003eVolvo Penta 3589524 is a genuine OEM plate used in select Volvo Penta sterndrive upper gear housing assemblies. Current parts references place this part in \u003cstrong\u003eDP-SMTD1 marine propulsion\u003c\/strong\u003e upper gear schematics, where it is paired with \u003cstrong\u003epressure plate 3852562\u003c\/strong\u003e in the upper gear unit. Multiple current dealer and distributor listings also describe 3589524 as a \u003cstrong\u003ethrust plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, with one source identifying it specifically as the \u003cstrong\u003estarboard\u003c\/strong\u003e thrust plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Volvo Penta OEM part number \u003cstrong\u003e3589524\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentified in current Volvo Penta schematic references as \u003cstrong\u003ePlate\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eDP-SMTD1 \/ Marine Propulsion\u003c\/strong\u003e upper gear housing diagrams.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaired in the same assembly with \u003cstrong\u003epressure plate 3852562\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent parts distributors describe this item as a \u003cstrong\u003ethrust plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, including a \u003cstrong\u003estarboard\u003c\/strong\u003e side reference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDealer weight reference lists it at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e0.020 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest supportable fitment for 3589524 is by \u003cstrong\u003eupper gear housing and sterndrive assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than by a single engine long-block family. Current schematic references place it in \u003cstrong\u003eDP-SMTD1 marine propulsion\u003c\/strong\u003e upper gear unit diagrams, and cross-reference channels also associate it with \u003cstrong\u003eVolvo SX\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOMC Cobra\u003c\/strong\u003e drive-side applications. Because upper gear housing hardware can vary by drive family, side, and production version, the safest fitment path is to match this plate to the exact Volvo Penta drive schematic and serial-number-based application before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch Volvo Penta part number \u003cstrong\u003e3589524\u003c\/strong\u003e to your drive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta upper gear housing diagram before ordering. Drive-side plates and adjacent thrust hardware can vary by sterndrive family, production break, and housing version, even when the surrounding assembly looks very similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plate should be replaced when it shows wear, scoring, deformation, corrosion, or damage during upper gear housing service. It is also worth inspecting anytime the surrounding pressure plate, bearing cover, seal, or related drive hardware is already apart, since wear in this section of the upper gear unit can lead to repeat labor if reused in poor condition. This service guidance is an inference based on the part's placement in the upper gear assembly and the thrust-plate descriptions in current listings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm the exact application in the correct Volvo Penta schematic before installation, and compare the removed part carefully against the replacement plate. Inspect the mating surfaces, adjacent pressure plate, and surrounding upper gear housing components before reassembly. In sterndrive upper gear assemblies, exact schematic match matters more than a quick visual comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent reviewed sources continue to show \u003cstrong\u003e3589524\u003c\/strong\u003e as an active Volvo Penta OEM number.

Checking the exact drive schematic first usually saves time, especially when the port and starboard thrust plates in the same assembly can look more interchangeable than they really are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564004605988,"sku":"3589524","price":15.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/b47c98d6-de49-4a32-9371-33ac698d9493.png?v=1776477390","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-553","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
