Water Inlet Connection 854031 for Volvo Penta AQ SP DP Sterndrive 2-Bolt Flange
Water Inlet Connection 854031 for Volvo Penta AQ SP DP Sterndrive 2-Bolt Flange
Product Overview
Water inlet connection part for Volvo Penta AQ, SP and DP sterndrives, with a 2-bolt flange design. It replaces 854031, 851766 and 897600, plus Sierra 18-2777. The connection fits AQ200 through AQ290DP, SP-A through SP-C1 and DP-A through DP-C drive models. A cracked or corroded inlet connection shows up as water in the bilge, a raw-water leak at the flange, or an engine that runs hot because the hose joint is drawing air. Inspect both flange faces and the hose spigot before fitting.
