Volvo Penta C4 Front Duoprop Propeller — Part No. 3587866
Genuine OEM front propeller for the Volvo Penta C4 Duoprop system. Designed for Volvo Penta 280, 290, and DP sterndrives equipped with Type C stainless-steel Duoprop propellers, part 3587866 is the front, left-hand rotation propeller in the C4 matched pair. Manufactured from stainless steel for high strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability in demanding marine environments.
Volvo Penta's Type C Duoprop design uses thinner, high-strength blades to deliver strong thrust, responsive acceleration, and efficient high-speed performance. The front and rear propellers work as an engineered matched pair — replacing one without the other can affect performance and drivetrain balance.

Duoprop propellers must be matched by drive type and propeller size designation. Confirm your sterndrive requires a C4 Type C Duoprop set before ordering. Do not select a replacement solely by engine model — verify against your Volvo Penta parts diagram and serial number.
Serial Number Requirements
Fitment is serial-number sensitive on Volvo Penta 280, 290, and DP drives. Cross-reference your drive serial number with the Volvo Penta parts diagram to confirm 3587866 is the correct front propeller for your specific configuration.
When to Replace
Replace when the propeller shows bent or damaged blades, significant leading-edge damage, excessive corrosion, hub deterioration, or persistent vibration that cannot be resolved through normal inspection and servicing. Front and rear Duoprop propellers should be inspected together to maintain matched performance.
Installation Notes
Install in the front position of the C4 Duoprop arrangement only. During installation, inspect the propeller shaft, hub components, thrust hardware, and the matching rear propeller. Follow Volvo Penta service procedures and use specified propeller hardware when installing or removing.

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Order 3587866 when you need to replace the front propeller only and the rear propeller (3587872) is still in serviceable condition. If both propellers are damaged or worn, replacing the complete matched pair is strongly recommended to maintain balanced performance.
Common Issues: The most frequent ordering mistake is selecting a propeller by engine model without confirming the drive type and C-series designation. Volvo Penta engineers the front and rear Duoprop propellers as a matched pair — mismatching series (e.g., pairing a C3 rear with a C4 front) will cause performance and handling issues. Always confirm both the drive type and the C4 designation before purchasing.
Technical FAQ
Is this a complete Duoprop set? No. Part 3587866 is the front propeller only. The complete C4 pair requires the matching rear propeller 3587872. A complete C4 set (3588224) is not currently listed — contact us if you need both propellers.
What is the difference between Type C and other Duoprop series? Volvo Penta's Type C uses thinner, high-strength blades optimized for high-speed performance and strong acceleration. Different series (A, B, C, D, E) are matched to specific drive packages and performance profiles — confirm your drive is configured for Type C before ordering.
Can I replace just the front propeller? Yes, if the rear propeller is undamaged and within spec. However, both propellers should be inspected together at every service to ensure the pair remains balanced.
