Grooved pins are precision fasteners with longitudinal grooves along the shank that create an interference fit when pressed into a matching bore, providing reliable component location, retention, or pivot function without requiring a threaded engagement. They are used throughout engine and drive assemblies at positions where precise, repeatable alignment between components is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Volvo Penta uses grooved pins of varying diameters, lengths, and groove configurations across their product range, \u003cstrong\u003e24693918 must be confirmed by the applicable parts diagram, engine model, and serial number\u003c\/strong\u003e before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta engine or drive applications whose parts diagram specifically identifies 24693918 at the grooved pin position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm fitment using the complete Volvo Penta engine designation, engine serial number, assembly position, and OEM part number \u003cstrong\u003e24693918\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Grooved pins derive their retention from the interference between the groove profile and the bore wall. Once removed, the grooves may be deformed or the bore slightly enlarged, reducing the clamping force on reinstallation. At under $5 each, replacement is the correct practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I substitute a generic grooved pin of the same measured diameter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Only if the aftermarket pin exactly matches the OEM diameter, length, groove pattern, material grade, and end configuration. In precision engine assemblies, even a small dimensional difference can affect component alignment or retention. Confirm the OEM part number from the diagram rather than selecting by measurement alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Check the quantity shown in the Volvo Penta parts diagram for your specific assembly position. This listing is sold individually — order the quantity indicated in the diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I remove a grooved pin without damaging the bore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Use the correct pin punch or extractor for the pin diameter, applying force axially. Driving the pin sideways or at an angle risks deforming or enlarging the bore. Refer to the Volvo Penta service manual for the removal method specified for your assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrooved pins are the kind of part customers forget to order until the assembly is already apart — at under $5 each, they are worth including in any service parts order when the assembly is known to contain them. The main thing to confirm is the exact diagram position and quantity, since Volvo Penta uses grooved pins of different sizes across their engine and drive assemblies and they can look identical at a glance. Customers occasionally ask about substituting a generic pin — for a precision locating application, the OEM part is the right answer. If the bore is damaged when the old pin comes out, that needs to be addressed before a new pin is installed, as a worn bore will not retain a new pin correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43971664216100,"sku":"24693918","price":4.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/images_a91cd4d7-2606-495d-975c-091f98af30b9.jpg?v=1789416222","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-penta-grooved-pin-24693918","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
