876294 Bellows Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta drive joint bellows kit weighing 0.54 kg and listed for 105 applications across the AQ, AD, D, TSK, TMD and BB series. The accessories catalogue prints this one number as the drive joint bellows kit for seven drive families - the 270, the 280, the 280DP, the 290 and SP A-E, the 290DP and DP A-E, the DPX and the DPG - which makes it the common universal-joint bellows across the whole classic sterndrive range. The exhaust bellows and the seawater intake hose kit for those drives are separate numbers that change family by family. It supersedes 875826, catalogued earlier as bellows, a ring and rubber bellows.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: AQ, AD, D, TSK, TMD, BB, MS, B, DP, SP, DPX, HS, TAMD, MD, KAD, KAMD

🔌 Function

Forms the flexible watertight seal around the universal joint between the transom shield and the drive, letting the drive steer and trim while keeping the sea out of the boat.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Water in the bilge that rises when the boat is under way or the drive is trimmed
• Cracks or splits in the rubber, most often in the folds
• Rubber gone hard, chalky or crazed with age
• Rusty water or oil staining inside the transom shield
• Clamps found corroded, slack or bedded into the rubber

🛠️ Service Notes

• Each drive family takes its own exhaust bellows and seawater intake hose kit even though this drive joint bellows is common to all of them, so order all three against your drive
• Renew all the bellows and the clamps together while the drive is off, and check the gimbal bearing, U-joints and shift cable at the same time
• Set the drive alignment on reassembly; a misaligned drive tears new bellows quickly
• Always refer to the operator's manual for the recommended maintenance and service intervals for your engine and drive
• Listed against more than one engine or drive family - check the qualifier that applies to your own engine or drive
