Volvo Penta DuoProp Front Propeller Nut 852196

Volvo Penta 852196 is a genuine propeller nut used on older Volvo Penta DuoProp sterndrive applications. Current references identify it specifically as a front / forward propeller nut, and multiple current parts sources place it with DuoProp A, B, and C-series hardware for DP280 and DP290-era drives. Current reviewed listings also describe it as a 16 mm propeller nut for DuoProp setups using a 16 mm shaft and 8 mm cone-bolt diameter.

Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta OEM part number 852196.
• Identified as a front / forward propeller nut for DuoProp applications.
• Current references describe it as a 16 mm prop nut.
• Used as part of the DuoProp propeller retaining hardware stack.

Engine Compatibility
Current references point to drive and propeller-family compatibility rather than engine-only fitment. Reviewed sources associate Volvo Penta 852196 with DuoProp A, B, and C series propellers, commonly on DP280 and DP290 drives, with some current listings also extending the same hardware family to J-series references. Fitment should be confirmed by exact drive model, propeller family, shaft size, and existing hardware arrangement before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Propeller hardware can vary by drive generation, shaft diameter, cone-bolt size, and front-versus-rear propeller position. Confirm Volvo Penta 852196 by drive serial number and by matching the installed forward propeller hardware stack before ordering. Current confirmed Volvo Penta ordering number is 852196.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this propeller nut when the original hardware is corroded, rounded, damaged during removal, shows thread wear, or is missing from the propeller hardware stack. On DuoProp systems, dependable retaining hardware matters for correct propeller clamping and safe reassembly, so worn or questionable prop nuts are worth renewing during prop service. This service guidance follows from the part’s current identification as a genuine forward propeller retaining nut.

Installation Notes
Match the replacement directly to the existing forward propeller position and confirm the drive uses the 16 mm front-nut hardware style before installation. Current reviewed sources repeatedly note marine grease use during propeller installation and tie this nut to a hardware stack used with related DuoProp mounting components. Confirm the correct washer, spacer, and cone-hardware arrangement for the specific drive before final assembly.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current reviewed references clearly identify 852196 as the active Volvo Penta part number for this front propeller nut. No confirmed Volvo Penta supersession is clearly shown in the reviewed current references.

Parts Desk Insight
For DuoProp hardware, the strongest buying checkpoint is the exact prop position and hardware style, not just the word propeller nut. Current references point clearly to 852196 as the forward/front 16 mm DuoProp nut used in older A, B, and C-series hardware families, so matching the existing hardware stack is the cleanest way to avoid ordering the wrong prop nut.
