It is not 100% compatible with my VOLVO PENTA D1-20
Pulley is different, I have had to exchange the pulley from the old alternator. On the good side, the alternator comes from a full test report including power outrpm chart.

Not entirely suitable for D1-20
When I installed the alternator, I first saw that the pulley was significantly longer than the original. So get back out there, find an auto repair shop and have someone change the pulley with an impact wrench. Good that we just had a car here in Greece. The alternator lay very loosely in the box, had already punched through the box with the screws and a piece of plastic had broken off. Apart from that, however, it is an inexpensive solution, with Volvo the alternator costs over 1000 euros.

Purchased in February 2024, installed in May 2024, 3 months cruising, winter break, April 2024 defective
The charge regulator is probably defective, as we're experiencing severe fluctuations in the charging voltage. Fortunately, we still had the old replacement alternator, which is working perfectly—no more voltage spikes or drops!

Broke down after just 4 hours of riding
Bought in October 2024, then the winter shutdown period arrived. Now that we are starting again it has started to show 16V sending me an alarm on the engine dashboard. Now the problem is to call the mechanic again to disassemble this and assemble the new one but above all to wait for the times for the warranty and or replacement. In the meantime I have to stop the boat just when I was about to start again

Disappointment!
The pulley does not fit the VP D4-300, it is too big and must be replaced with the old one.

The pulley is not the right one and after installing the old one the alternator makes a strange noise.
Unused, I want to send it back for refund
