Best place to buy OEM Volvo parts?

[GMTK]

Going to go ahead and have the bellows replaced as I noticed a slight crack. Where is the best place to buy OEM volvo bellows? I couldn't find any on the volvo penta store. I don't have a volvo dealer within 3 hours of me.

Our host Iboats has parts. Or do a google search entering Volvo Penta and the part number. You will be able to price check several different vendors.

The only bellows they had were from Sierra and based on some old posts by Don, he said to go OEM on the bellows.

Is this an sx-m drive. What year? What is the full model number after the GXI-E?

It's a 2004 SX drive. Not sure which number you are talking about so I took a photo of the engine plate. I can go out at lunch and get a photo off the drive if needed.

The TSK SX-M was what I needed to see. Out of curiosity, is the rest of your engine red?

You need part number 22197130.

It's out of stock on the VolvoPenta store but you can get it other places.

Thanks Bruce, that helps tremendously. Looks like I will be installing the new bellows myself as the local and only dealer who is NOT volvo certified want $1000 for labor and will have the boat 3 weeks. Not gonna happen.

Can you also get me the number for the exhaust bellows for my engine?

Found 22197130 for $65 online.

If it isn't ripped, don't bother replacing. Exhaust can go a long time and there is no danger to anything if they fail. I am on my original and it's almost 20 years old.

Here is a good place for the u-joint bellows:

Not sure if it's the new number or not. You should ask. The newer bellows are more of a plastic type now.
