Parts for V***o Outdrives

[alastair]

Its time for the 2 year service on my 280 outdrives. Ive always used Volvo, or Keyparts before to supply the Bellows and water intake hoses, but this time I found Sea-Screw:

Their components are far cheaper than the rivals!

Does anyone on the forum have ant experience of the quality of these obviously non genuine parts?

Regards

Thanks for sea screw info. Keypart don't seem to have much competition and I guess their mark-up's are still quite significant.
I once replaced bellows at 2years (as per Volvo recommendation) and replaced a set of perfect bellows with another set of perfect bellows. Except for maybe the opportunity of greasing up the CV joint the whole exercise seemed a heavy waste of time. It's every 3 years for me now.
