🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta chassis ground cable for earlier production, from the Marine Propulsion group, weighing 0.029 kg and listed for 29 applications across TSK, DP and SX series transom shields and drives.

⚙️ Key Features

• For earlier production
• 0.029 kg
• Marine Propulsion group
• 29 applications across TSK, DP and SX series

🔌 Function

Bonds the drive or component back to the engine and battery negative, giving the return path for the electrical system and the bonding that limits galvanic corrosion.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Intermittent or dead electrical items with no fault at the item itself
• Voltage drop measured across the earth path
• Cable strands corroded or broken inside the insulation, often at a terminal
• Green or white deposits at the bolted ends
• Accelerated corrosion of drive components where the bonding has been lost

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the earlier or later production distinction before ordering - cable 3853849 covers 32 applications and carries no production note
• Clean the bolted faces back to bright metal, tighten firmly and protect the joint afterwards; a poor ground both causes electrical faults and loses the corrosion protection

📦 Condition

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