## ⚙️ Key Features

-   8.591 kg
-   27 applications across D, TWD and TAD series engines
-   Engine group torsional damper

## 🔌 Function

Absorbs crankshaft torsional vibration so those stresses are not passed on to the crank, gear train and driven equipment.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   New or rougher vibration through the boat at certain revs
-   Rubber element cracked, distorted or extruded from the damper
-   Damper ring shifted so the timing marks no longer line up
-   Wobble or run-out seen with a mark on the outer ring
-   Belt run wandering or belts failing quickly

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Treat this as a service-life item — a tired damper loads the crankshaft and gear train, so do not defer it
-   Check the front seal and pulley surface while the damper is off and renew the seal
-   At 8.591 kg support the damper during fitting and tighten the retaining bolts to specification
