This is a genuine Volvo Penta OEM pivot pin for select Volvo Penta sterndrive transom assemblies. The pivot pin provides the primary pivot point for drive unit articulation, enabling steering and trim movement. It is a precision-machined, hardened component that must be in good condition for correct drive alignment and safe operation. Replace when worn, corroded, or damaged, or during major transom assembly service.

When to Replace

Replace the pivot pin when it is worn, corroded, scored, bent, or no longer within specification. Also replace during major transom assembly service, or any time the pin is removed and shows surface corrosion, pitting, or dimensional wear that could affect fit or function. Steering resistance or play in the drive unit can indicate a worn pivot pin.

Installation Notes

• Clean the pivot pin bore and mating surfaces before installing the new pin
• Inspect the surrounding bushings, housing bores, and retaining hardware for wear or damage before reassembly
• Lubricate as specified in the Volvo Penta service manual for your drive model
• Install the correct retaining hardware (split pin, clip, or fastener as specified) — never omit the retaining device
• Follow the Volvo Penta service manual torque and assembly procedure for your specific drive model and serial number

Service Interval

Inspect the pivot pin during annual drive service or any time steering resistance, drive play, or unusual movement is noticed. Replace on condition — when wear, corrosion, or scoring is found — or proactively during major transom assembly overhaul. Refer to the Volvo Penta service manual for your specific drive model for full inspection and replacement guidance.

Technical FAQ

What symptoms indicate a worn pivot pin?
Common signs include increased steering resistance, play or looseness in the drive unit, uneven trim response, or visible corrosion and scoring on the pin surface during inspection. If you notice any of these, inspect the pivot pin and surrounding bushings before the next outing.

Do I need to replace the bushings at the same time?
If the pivot pin is being replaced due to wear, the surrounding bushings should be inspected and replaced if worn. A new pin in worn bushings will wear faster and may not restore correct fit. See the related bushing references above.

How do I confirm this is the right pin for my drive?
Locate 22093448 in the transom assembly section of the Volvo Penta parts diagram for your specific drive model and serial number. Pivot pin dimensions vary across drive families — confirm by diagram, not by appearance.

Parts Desk Insights

Pivot pins are one of those components that tend to get overlooked during annual service until steering becomes noticeably stiff or the drive develops play. By that point, the pin and bushings are usually both worn, which means more parts and more labour. Inspecting the pivot pin and bushings during each annual haul-out is a straightforward check that can prevent a more involved repair later. If you’re replacing the pin, it’s worth inspecting the split pin and bushings at the same time — they’re inexpensive parts that do a lot of work in a corrosive environment. Have your drive model and serial number ready to confirm the correct pin before ordering.
