Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this sensor fits my Volvo Penta stern drive?
A: This 3-wire trim sender is designed for Volvo Penta SX-M, DP-S, and SP-SM transom assemblies. Verify that your current sensor has a 3-wire configuration and cross-reference your existing part number with 3849411, 3849413, 3855535, or 3863007.
