Why Choose Genuine Volvo Penta Parts?
Using OEM Volvo Penta parts isn’t just recommended—it’s essential for protecting your engine and maximizing its performance. Here’s why smart boaters and commercial operators choose authentic parts:
- Precision Engineering– Manufactured specifically for your exact Volvo Penta parts specifications

- Warranty Protection– Full eligibility for comprehensive Volvo Penta warranty coverage
- Superior Durability– Dramatically reduces breakdowns, corrosion, and premature wear
- Cost-Effective– Prevents expensive repairs and extends engine lifespan
From fuel filters and Volvo Penta impeller kits to anodes, EVC sensors, gaskets, and thermostats, we stock the critical components your engine needs—whether you’re cruising Lake Tahoe, working Honolulu Harbor, or navigating the Colorado River.


Genuine Volvo Penta Parts Warranty – Maximum Protection
Volvo Penta warranty coverage provides one of the marine industry’s most comprehensive protection programs—but understanding the specific terms ensures you maximize your benefits.
Standard Warranty Coverage
Genuine Volvo Penta parts include a 12-month limited warranty, or:
- 600 engine hours for recreational marine use
- 3,000 engine hours for Volvo Penta commercial warranty applications
(Whichever milestone comes first)
Enhanced Coverage with Certified Installation
When installed by a certified Volvo Penta technician like our team at Helmut’s Marine Service, your Volvo Penta warranty extends to
- 24 months or 600 hours (recreational use)
- 12 months or 3,000 hours (commercial use)
(Still whichever comes first)
This factory-backed protection covers manufacturing defects and material failures, labor reimbursement for eligible warranty claims, local support through Helmut’s Marine Service for streamlined processing.
Important: Engine hours are precisely tracked through your management system and must remain within stated limits. Exceeding hour thresholds—even within calendar periods—can void coverage.
