When This Part Needs Replacement

Replace the screw if the Torx recess is rounded or damaged, the threads are stretched or stripped, the screw is bent or heavily corroded, or the captive washer is damaged or missing. A damaged fastener can prevent the protecting cover or support component from seating and securing correctly.

Installation Notes

Use the correct T30 driver to minimize damage to the screw head. Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading and tighten to the torque specification for the applicable Volvo Penta assembly. Do not substitute a longer screw simply because the thread diameter matches the specified 12 mm / 0.472 in. length matters where clearance behind the mounting point is limited.
