🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta insulating bushing from the Marine Propulsion group, weighing 0.003 kg and listed for seven applications across D series engines and IPS pod drives. Its job is to break an electrical path, so a damaged bushing can allow stray-current corrosion.

⚙️ Key Features

• Insulating bushing
• 0.003 kg
• Listed for seven applications across D series engines and IPS pod drives

🔌 Function

Isolates a fastener or fitting electrically from its mounting, so no stray current path is made between the metals it separates.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Anodes wasting unusually fast on the drive
• Paint blistering or pitting around the mounting
• Continuity found across a joint that should be isolated
• Bushing cracked, crushed or missing on strip-down
• Corrosion product packed into the bore of the bushing

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit the insulating bushings and washers as a complete set - one missed piece shorts out the whole isolation
• Check the isolation with a meter after assembly rather than assuming it

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
