The safest match is by exact sterndrive parts diagram and housing location rather than by engine model name alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify fitment by exact Volvo Penta drive model, serial number, and upper housing or driveshaft housing diagram before ordering.

It is also commonly renewed when the upper unit is already apart for related sterndrive service, since the seal's job is to maintain clean sealing at a critical rotating-shaft location. This service guidance is a practical inference based on the documented seal location and application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall 3852272 only after confirming the correct Volvo Penta upper housing or driveshaft housing diagram for the drive being serviced. Current references place it in the \u003cstrong\u003eU-joint \/ bearing carrier \/ upper housing\u003c\/strong\u003e area, so seal orientation and the exact housing position should be checked carefully during reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent Volvo dealer references show \u003cstrong\u003e23492730\u003c\/strong\u003e as the newer Volvo Penta replacement for \u003cstrong\u003e3852272\u003c\/strong\u003e.
