OEM Volvo Penta Engine Drive Coupler 3858437 17-Spline 4.3L 5.0L 5.7L SX Cobra
Genuine OEM Volvo Penta rubber engine drive coupler, Part Number 3858437, designed for select GM-based 4.3L V6, 5.0L V8, and 5.7L V8 marine engine applications using compatible Volvo Penta SX or OMC Cobra sterndrives.
This engine coupler mounts between the engine flywheel and sterndrive input shaft, transferring engine power to the drive while the rubber isolator helps absorb vibration and drivetrain shock.

Condition
Good overall used OEM condition with normal cosmetic wear consistent with previous marine use.
The coupler may show normal scratches, scuffs, surface oxidation, staining, rubber aging, and mounting marks from previous installation and removal.
Because this is a used drivetrain component, the rubber isolator, internal splines, mounting holes, hub, and surrounding metal components should be carefully inspected before installation.
