It manages exhaust gas routing around the propeller hub, reducing the tendency for exhaust gases to interfere with propeller blade loading at low speeds — a condition that can cause propeller ventilation or loss of grip when maneuvering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS1 with T\/TS-series propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta IPS10 with T\/TS-series propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD4-powered IPS installations using T\/TS propeller hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD6-powered IPS installations using T\/TS propeller hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm the installed propeller series and drive unit before ordering — Volvo Penta uses different hardware across IPS propeller families.

Other IPS drive and propeller combinations use different hardware. Always confirm against the Volvo Penta parts diagram for your specific drive and propeller series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I run without this ring if it's damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not recommended. The flow deflector's shape directly influences exhaust routing around the propeller hub. A missing or deformed ring can contribute to exhaust-related propeller ventilation and reduced thrust control at low speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the part customers often order simply as a \"ring\" without realizing it has a specific aerodynamic function in the propeller assembly. The most common issue is ordering without confirming the propeller series — the T\/TS designation on your propeller blades is the fastest way to confirm this is the correct deflector. If you're in doubt about your propeller series, the drive unit plate and the Volvo Penta parts diagram for your IPS unit are the most reliable references. Inspect the cone and locking hardware while you have the propeller off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564035407908,"sku":"3862454","price":44.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/5faa1e4f-4e49-4d47-b260-4fe96da6f8e0.png?v=1788842151","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-penta-ips-flow-deflector-ring-3862454","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
