Volvo Penta STERNDRIVE SX DP-S DP-SM OMC Cobra Exhaust Bellows KIT - Replaces 3850426

The Volvo Penta STERNDRIVE SX DP-S DP-SM OMC Cobra Exhaust Bellows Kit is receiving mixed feedback from customers, reflecting varied experiences depending on their specific applications. Many users report successful installations, noting that the bellows worked great for their respective models, such as the '97 Four Winns Horizon with a 4.3L and the '96 Cobra SX. The fit is generally described as exact or excellent, particularly for newer models, like a 2003 SX drive. However, some customers have encountered challenges. A notable issue is the absence of a snap ring in cases where the open-end style exhaust bellows are currently in use, which some users found necessary to secure the assembly properly. Additionally, a discrepancy in the design is highlighted, with customers mentioning that the alignment of drain holes is not straight and that they are smaller than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, prompting some to take additional steps such as drilling new holes. In contrast, certain users made mentions of compatibility issues, with reports of the product not fitting properly on specific models like the Volvo Penta AQ125. Overall, while many customers find the product to be a quality replacement that is well-priced, the mixed reviews indicate that potential buyers should ensure compatibility with their current systems before purchasing. **
