Volvo Penta Lip Seal 6842273

Volvo Penta 6842273 is a genuine OEM lip seal used in selected Volvo Penta marine propulsion applications. Volvo Penta’s official parts shop lists 6842273 as a current genuine lip seal, and current public parts references place it in marine propulsion assemblies, including DPH-D1 schematic references. Broader marine-parts listings also show this seal used across a wide range of Volvo Penta engine and drive families, so the safest customer-facing positioning is as a genuine Volvo Penta lip seal that should be matched by exact serial number.

Serial Number Fitment Notice

Volvo Penta lip seal fitment can vary by engine family, drive model, housing arrangement, and production break. Confirm part number 6842273 against your exact engine, shield, or drive serial number before ordering to ensure the correct seal for your specific application.

When This Part Needs Replacement

Replace this lip seal when the original seal is leaking, hardened, cut, worn, distorted, or disturbed during service and no longer offers dependable sealing. It is also a smart replacement item whenever the related shaft or housing assembly is already apart, since lip seals are wear-sensitive sealing components and reusing an older one can lead to repeat leaks.

Installation Notes

Install only after confirming the exact application by serial number and schematic. Inspect the sealing surface, shaft condition, and housing bore before installation, and make sure the seal is fitted squarely and in the correct orientation for the assembly.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers

The current sources reviewed consistently identify 6842273 as the key Volvo Penta ordering number. No stronger current supersession reference was established, so the cleanest genuine ordering reference remains Volvo Penta 6842273.

Parts Desk Insight

Lip seals are one of those small parts that can hold up a repair if they are not matched correctly. On Volvo Penta applications with broad published fitment like this one, the safest path is to match by serial number and diagram rather than by model family name alone.
