Full model list at the end of this description.

⚙️ Key Features

• Replaces the earlier Volvo Penta sealing reference
• Resistant to seawater, heat and exhaust-system temperatures
• Replace whenever the exhaust joint is dismantled
• Engine type: V8 marine petrol

🔌 Function

Seals the exhaust and cooling-water joint between the adjoining exhaust components.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Water leakage around the exhaust joint
• Exhaust-gas leakage or soot staining
• Flattened, hardened or split O-ring
• Corrosion of the adjoining sealing surfaces
• Exhaust odour in the engine compartment

🛠️ Service Notes

• Always fit a new O-ring — never refit one that has been removed, as it has already taken a set in its groove
• Clean the groove and both sealing faces and check them for nicks, scoring and corrosion pitting; a damaged groove will leak however good the new seal is
• Smear the ring with a little clean lubricant compatible with the fluid it seals, then roll it into place by hand so it sits untwisted and fully in its groove
• Never lever an O-ring over a sharp edge or thread with a screwdriver; use a blunt plastic tool and protect any edge the ring has to pass
• Assemble the joint squarely and tighten to the figure and sequence given in the workshop manual for your engine — over-tightening extrudes the ring and causes the very leak you were curing
