Fitment Notice
Confirm fitment by Volvo Penta drive model, drive serial number, transom shield type, steering/trim assembly, terminal location, and cable routing before ordering. Volvo Penta uses different bonding straps, ground leads, cable lengths, and terminal styles across similar drive families, so this part should be matched by diagram location rather than appearance alone.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this ground cable if the original cable is missing, corroded, frayed, broken, oil-soaked, heat-damaged, loose at the terminals, or showing poor electrical continuity. It should also be replaced if the terminal eyelets are cracked, the insulation is damaged, or the cable has been compromised during steering, trim, or transom shield service.
Installation Notes
Install this cable only in the exact Volvo Penta diagram location that calls for 889728. Clean the mounting surfaces before installation so the cable terminals make proper contact with the intended bonding points. Inspect the related screws, washers, brackets, steering cylinder mounts, trim hardware, and nearby wiring while the cable is removed. Route the cable away from hot surfaces, sharp edges, moving linkages, and pinch points.

Parts Desk Insight
Bonding cables are small but important in sterndrive steering and trim assemblies. A loose or corroded ground lead can interrupt continuity between metal components, so the cable, terminals, fasteners, and contact surfaces should be inspected together during drive or transom service.
