Important: This is the front trim cylinder hydraulic tube, not a cooling-water or exhaust pipe. It carries hydraulic fluid in the power-trim circuit. Previous catalog references incorrectly placed this part in the cooling/exhaust system — the Volvo Penta trim-cylinder schematic confirms its correct placement as Item 6 in the Trim Cylinders assembly. Confirm part number 3862858 at diagram position 6 against your drive serial number before ordering.

The 3862858 is a genuine OEM Volvo Penta tube used in the trim-cylinder hydraulic assembly on DPH and DPR sterndrives. Volvo Penta drive documentation identifies it as the “Tube – Front” (item 6) in the Trim Cylinders assembly, installed alongside rear tube 3862857 (item 5), the port and starboard trim cylinders, clamp 3863060, O-ring 960214, and related hydraulic hardware. An exact OEM tube match ensures proper hydraulic routing, sealing, and reliable power-trim operation.

Serial Number Notice: Volvo Penta uses separate front (3862858) and rear (3862857) hydraulic tubes in the trim-cylinder system. Confirm the diagram position, drive model, and serial number before ordering — the two tubes are visually similar and sit in the same assembly.

When to Replace

Replace this tube when it is corroded or heavily pitted, bent, cracked, or physically damaged, leaking from the tube body or sealing connections, internally restricted, or damaged during trim-cylinder or transom-shield service. A damaged hydraulic tube causes fluid loss and unreliable power-trim operation — do not operate the drive with a leaking or damaged tube.

Service Interval

Inspect trim-cylinder hydraulic tubes during annual sterndrive service or any time the trim cylinders or transom shield are disassembled. Replace any tube showing corrosion, cracking, or sealing-surface wear. Proactively replace when adjacent cylinders or O-rings are being serviced to avoid repeat labour.

Installation Notes

Confirm diagram position 6 (front) against position 5 (rear tube 3862857) before installation — the two tubes belong to the same assembly and are visually similar. Inspect tube ends, O-rings, clamp 3863060, mating hydraulic connections, and both trim cylinders during service. Replace O-rings and clamps whenever the tube is replaced. Torque all fittings to the specification in the Volvo Penta DPH/DPR service manual for your drive model.

Technical FAQ

Q: Is this a cooling water tube or a hydraulic tube?
A: This is a hydraulic tube in the power-trim circuit, not a cooling-water or exhaust pipe. Previous catalog references incorrectly placed it in the cooling/exhaust system — the Volvo Penta trim-cylinder schematic confirms it as Item 6 in the Trim Cylinders assembly.

Q: What is the difference between 3862858 and 3862857?
A: The 3862858 is the front tube (item 6) and the 3862857 is the rear tube (item 5) in the same DPH/DPR trim-cylinder hydraulic assembly. They are distinct parts and are not interchangeable.

Q: Which drives use this tube?
A: Confirmed applications include DPH-A, DPH-B, DPR-A, and DPR-B. Additional references associate it with DPH-C, DPH-D1, DPH-E, DPR-C, DPR-D, and TSK DPH variants. Always confirm by your exact drive serial number and diagram.

Q: Do I need to replace the O-ring when replacing this tube?
A: Yes. Always install a new O-ring 960214 when replacing the tube. Reusing old O-rings risks hydraulic fluid leaks after reassembly.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: This is the correct part for customers replacing a leaking, corroded, or damaged front hydraulic tube in the DPH or DPR trim-cylinder assembly. It is most often ordered alongside the rear tube 3862857, O-rings, and clamps as part of a full trim-cylinder tube service.

Common Issues: The most frequent mistake is ordering this tube based on the cooling/exhaust system references that appeared in earlier catalog versions — this is a hydraulic trim tube, not a water or exhaust pipe. The second common error is ordering the front tube when the rear tube (3862857) is what the diagram calls for, or vice versa. Always confirm Item 5 vs. Item 6 against your drive’s parts diagram before ordering.
