🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Ball Bearing - Part Number: 181355

This genuine Volvo Penta ball bearing is a precision rolling-element or raceway component used in the seawater-pump shaft bearing position. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. Documented replacement bearing designation SKF 6207-2RS1. Used in seawater-pump assemblies including 855722 and 856513. In service, it supports the seawater-pump shaft under impeller and drive load while maintaining mechanical-seal alignment. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 181355, the exact engine/product model, serial number and installed configuration.
