Volvo Penta DPS-B Sterndrive. We supply all parts for the DPS-B sterndrive. The service and spare parts list includes sterndrive prop removal tools, anodes, drive and exhaust bellows, hoses, oils, shaft grease and shaft seals. Sterndrives use different types of gear oils, depending on the sterndrive type. See the individual sterndrive sections or our downloads section for more information.

It is important to use genuine anodes on a Volvo DPS-B sterndrive. Volvo Penta anodes are made to exact specifications to protect the sterndrive from corrosion. We have seen evidence of counterfeit anodes, and this can lead to a total loss of the sterndrive from corrosion.

DPS-B Sterndrives use the "IH" series with helical/spiral splines. Propellers should not be mixed and changed as pairs on twin installations.

Please contact us if you need a new propeller. If you require technical help with any aspect of your DPS-B sterndrive or propeller choice, please call us.

Volvo Penta DPS-B Sterndrives should be serviced at the end of every season to ensure the oil is not emulsified, indicating that the shaft seals require changing. Water intake hoses should also be checked for condition. See our downloads section from the left-hand menu to download a list of oils for each Sterndrive type.
