Broader current model-fitment listings also associate it with many Volvo Penta engine-and-drive packages built around those sterndrive families. Fitment should still be treated as \u003cstrong\u003edrive- and steering-assembly-specific\u003c\/strong\u003e and confirmed to the exact serial-numbered unit before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways confirm \u003cstrong\u003e853048\u003c\/strong\u003e against the exact sterndrive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering. This is especially important with steering helmet and pivot-pin related parts, where similar-looking bushings can still vary by drive family and shield assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReplace this bushing when the original part is worn, loose, ovalled, cracked, seized, or no longer supporting the pivot or steering-related component correctly. On sterndrive steering and pivot assemblies, bushing wear can contribute to excess play, poor alignment, and repeat wear in related components. This replacement guidance is a practical service inference based on the part's identified pivot-pin \/ steering-helmet 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 pivot pin, steering helmet, surrounding bore, and nearby hardware before reassembly, and follow the correct Volvo Penta service information for the serial-numbered drive. Because this part is used in a steering\/pivot support role, correct fit and bore condition matter as much as the bushing itself. This last point is a practical service inference supported by the identified application references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent sources reviewed list this part under active Volvo Penta number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\u003e853048\u003c\/strong\u003e. Current replacement-market references also associate it with \u003cstrong\u003e851262\u003c\/strong\u003e, and some listings show aftermarket equivalents such as \u003cstrong\u003eREC853048\u003c\/strong\u003e. Cross references should always be matched carefully to the exact application before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBushings like 853048 are small parts, but they can make a big difference in how tight and accurate a sterndrive steering or pivot assembly feels. Replacing a worn bushing before it damages the surrounding housing or pivot hardware is usually a smart move during shield or steering service. That recommendation is based on the part's identified steering helmet \/ pivot pin role.\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":43564047695908,"sku":"853048","price":130.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/29dc8cac-2b9d-4987-89eb-44bee2e52191.png?v=1776190893","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-penta-853048-bushing","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
