Quick overview
- Genuine Hayward OEM The factory RCX40117 drive pin assembly, not an aftermarket copy.
- SharkVAC and SharkVAC XL Designed to fit both robotic cleaner families.
- Models RC9740 and RC9742 The specific cleaner models Hayward lists for this part.
- May suit other Hayward cleaners Hayward notes it can fit other models in the range, so check the part you are replacing.
- Part of the drive train The drive pin is what carries motor rotation through to the cleaner drive, so a worn one shows up as slipping or stalling.
- Small part, whole cleaner A cleaner that will not track properly often needs a drive component rather than a new motor.

Product details
The Hayward RCX40117 is the drive pin assembly for the SharkVAC and SharkVAC XL robotic pool cleaners, listed for models RC9740 and RC9742. It is a genuine Hayward OEM part, and Hayward notes it may fit other cleaners in its range as well.
What the drive pin does
The drive pin sits between the motor output and the part of the cleaner that actually moves it across the pool. When it wears or shears, the cleaner can sound perfectly healthy and still fail to climb, track or turn properly, because the rotation is no longer reaching the drive. Owners often suspect the motor when a small drive part is the actual fault.
Before you order
Open the cleaner and look at both drive positions. Parts on either side see the same running hours, so if one pin has gone it is worth checking the other and the drive bearings at the same time rather than doing the job twice.
