Description
Overview of Billet Clutch Housing
The billet clutch housing is a CNC-machined aluminium upgrade for V-series gearboxes. It comes in silver (AM1070S) or black anodised (AM1070B). Because anodising resists saltwater exposure, the housing pairs strength with long-term corrosion protection. Therefore, owners gain a neat finish, reliable alignment, and predictable service life.
Features of the Billet Clutch Housing
-
CNC machining delivers tight tolerances and consistent fit
-
Silver or black anodised finish improves corrosion resistance
-
Billet aluminium reduces weight compared with cast housings
-
Direct-replacement geometry simplifies installation
Specifications and Materials
Firstly, the housing uses high-grade billet aluminium that technicians machine precisely. Secondly, the surface receives a hard anodised coating in either silver or black. Additionally, the interface and bolt pattern match V-series clutch assemblies, which supports quick, repeatable fitment. Consequently, the part maintains alignment under load and helps protect adjacent components.
Compatibility and Fitment
Before installation, confirm the correct variant for your gearbox — choose AM1070S for silver or AM1070B for black. Also check bolt-hole positions, sealing faces, and clearance around rotating parts. When a qualified marine technician handles the job, you reduce installation time and avoid rework.
Compliance and Safety
Follow marine service procedures at every step. Wear eye protection and gloves, then clean mating surfaces thoroughly. After you torque fasteners to specification, verify runout and backlash at low speed. Finally, re-check for leaks and noise before full-load testing.
Marine Applications for Billet Clutch Housing
This component suits recreational craft and light commercial vessels that operate in saltwater. Since anodised aluminium resists pitting and staining, owners spend less time on maintenance and more time on the water.
