⚙️ Key Features

• Bell housing from the Marine Propulsion group
• 10.89 kg
• Supersedes 21440998
• Listed for 21 applications across DPH, D and DPI drives
• Machined faces set driveline alignment

🔌 Function

Joins the engine to the drive or transmission, enclosing the coupling and holding the two assemblies in concentric alignment.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration or a knock that appears under load rather than at a set speed
• Oil weeping from the joint faces or collecting inside the housing
• Coupling and spline wear traced back to misalignment
• Spigot or register bore worn, so the assemblies no longer locate
• Cracks around a mounting boss or a stripped tapping, found on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the register bore and both mating faces for damage before rebuilding - the housing is what sets alignment, and a bruised face throws it out
• Renew the gaskets, seals and any stretched fasteners at the same time
