Because small springs can vary by exact upper gear housing, shaft assembly, and production break, fitment should be treated as \u003cstrong\u003edrive- and serial-specific\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than assumed across all Volvo Penta sterndrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways confirm \u003cstrong\u003e3852296\u003c\/strong\u003e against the exact drive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering. Volvo Penta's official catalog is the best reference point for matching small internal hardware like this to the correct assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReplace this spring when the original part is broken, distorted, weakened, corroded, missing, or no longer provides the intended tension in the related upper drive assembly. It is also a sensible replacement anytime the surrounding upper gear housing or vertical shaft assembly is apart and the original spring shows wear or fatigue. This replacement guidance is a practical service inference based on the identified propulsion and upper-shaft application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstall only in the correct matched Volvo Penta application. Inspect the related housing, shaft components, retainers, and nearby service parts before reassembly, and follow the correct Volvo Penta service information for the serial-numbered drive. Correct placement matters with small internal springs because similar-looking hardware can serve different functions in closely related sterndrive assemblies. This is a practical inference supported by the application references above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent sources reviewed list this part under active Volvo Penta number \u003cstrong\u003e3852296\u003c\/strong\u003e. One current aftermarket listing also associates it with \u003cstrong\u003e813970\u003c\/strong\u003e as a replacement reference, but cross references should always be verified to the exact application before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall springs inside sterndrive assemblies are easy to overlook, but they can be critical to how a larger mechanism indexes, retains, or tensions related components. Replacing a tired or damaged spring during upper drive service is usually inexpensive insurance against repeat teardown later on. That recommendation is based on the part's identified DP-G \/ upper vertical shaft application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping: Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564018204708,"sku":"3852296","price":7.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/efdeb140-38b2-4b1b-ac83-23e9a5e4cd11.png?v=1776145737","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-694","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
