Description

Volvo Penta 11072 is a genuine OEM roller bearing used in Volvo Penta sterndrive service. Current Volvo Penta references continue to list 11072 as an active genuine part, and reviewed schematic-based sources place it in the DP-G marine propulsion family. Current aftermarket-equivalent references also identify 11072 as the roller bearing for the vertical shaft in the lower gear unit, which gives the clearest customer-facing application description.

Key Features
Genuine Volvo Penta OEM part number 11072. Current reviewed sources identify it specifically as a roller bearing, sold individually as a service part rather than as part of a kit. Current retail references also show it as an active Volvo Penta item in the genuine-parts channel.

Engine Compatibility
Current references point more clearly to drive compatibility than to engine-only fitment. The strongest reviewed application trail places Volvo Penta 11072 in older Aquamatic sterndrive families including 200, 250, 270, 270T, 275, 280, 280DP, 280T, 285A, 290, 290A, 290DP, SP-A, SP-A/MT, SP-A1, SP-A2, SP-C, SP-C1, DP-A, DP-A1, DP-A2, DP-B, DP-B1, DP-C, DP-C1, DP-D, DP-D1, DP-G, DP-S1, DPX, DPX-S, and DPX-S1. Fitment should be confirmed by exact drive model and serial number before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Roller bearings can vary by drive generation, shaft size, and lower-gear-unit design. Confirm Volvo Penta 11072 by the exact drive serial number and by matching the original bearing location and dimensions before ordering. Volvo Penta’s support resources also direct owners to identify the correct engine, shield, or drive when selecting genuine parts.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this bearing when the original shows roughness, noise, looseness, corrosion, visible wear, or damage found during lower gear unit service. Because current reviewed sources identify 11072 as the lower vertical-shaft roller bearing, replacement is typically tied to gearcase repair or overhaul work when the original no longer turns smoothly or supports the shaft correctly.

Installation Notes
Match the replacement directly to the original before installation and inspect the surrounding shaft and housing surfaces during service. Since current public references confirm the part number and lower-gear-unit application more clearly than full installation procedure details, direct comparison to the removed bearing and serial-number verification are the safest checkpoints before final assembly.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current reviewed sources clearly identify 11072 as the active Volvo Penta number for this roller bearing. Aftermarket-equivalent references also show Orbitrade 19072 and REC11072 in the same application family, but current confirmed OEM ordering number is 11072.

Parts Desk Insight
For a part like 11072, the strongest buying checkpoint is the exact drive family and bearing location, not the word “bearing” alone. Current references point most clearly to the vertical shaft in the lower gear unit across older Aquamatic drive families, so serial-number matching remains the cleanest way to avoid ordering the wrong bearing.
