Description

Volvo Penta 1542197 is a genuine OEM spherical washer used in Volvo Penta marine applications. Volvo Penta’s official parts shop lists 1542197 as an active genuine spherical washer, and current dealer-channel listings consistently use that same description. Current reviewed public sources do not publish a confirmed inside diameter, outside diameter, thickness, or seat-angle specification for this exact OEM number.

Key Features
Genuine Volvo Penta OEM part number 1542197. Sold as an individual service washer rather than as part of a kit. Current reviewed dealer listings also show it as a very small hardware item, with one current listing showing approximate weight around 0.005 kg.

Engine Compatibility
Current public references clearly confirm the OEM number and part type, but they do not provide a reliable broad fitment list for this exact washer. Because spherical washers are application-specific hardware, fitment should be confirmed by exact engine or drive serial number and by matching the original washer location in the correct Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering. Volvo Penta’s parts guidance specifically directs owners to identify the engine, shield, or drive when locating the correct genuine part.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Washers like this can vary by inside diameter, outside diameter, thickness, and mating-seat geometry. Confirm Volvo Penta 1542197 by serial number and by matching the original washer dimensions and installed position before ordering. Current reviewed public sources are strong on part-number confirmation and light on technical dimensions, so serial-number verification is the safest checkpoint.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this washer when the original is deformed, worn, corroded, damaged during disassembly, or no longer seats correctly in the assembly being serviced. Because this is a spherical washer rather than a general flat washer, correct seating matters to clamp load and alignment in the hardware stack where it is used. This is service-based guidance grounded in the part’s confirmed spherical-washer function.

Installation Notes
Match the replacement directly to the original before installation and confirm the mating surfaces are clean and undamaged. Since current public references confirm the part number more clearly than they publish engineering dimensions, direct comparison to the removed washer and serial-number verification are the best checkpoints before final assembly.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current reviewed public sources clearly identify 1542197 as the active Volvo Penta number for this spherical washer. No confirmed newer Volvo Penta supersession is clearly shown in the reviewed references.

Parts Desk Insight
For a part like 1542197, the strongest buying checkpoint is the exact hardware stack and seating surface, not the word “washer” alone. Spherical washers are usually chosen for how they seat and align under load, so matching the original washer and confirming by serial number is the cleanest way to avoid ordering the wrong hardware piece.
