Installation Guide
-
Disconnect the Battery: Ensure the engine's battery is disconnected to prevent accidental starts.
-
Close the Seacock: Locate and close the raw water intake valve (seacock) to prevent water from entering the vessel.
-
Access the Pump: Locate the raw water pump on the engine. You may need to remove other components for access.
-
Remove the Cover Plate: Unscrew the bolts holding the pump's cover plate in place. Be prepared for some residual water to spill out.
-
Extract the Old Impeller: Use impeller pullers or two pairs of pliers to grip the hub and pull the old impeller straight out. Avoid gouging the pump housing.
-
Clean and Inspect: Clean any debris from the pump housing and inspect it for scoring or damage. Ensure all pieces of the old impeller are accounted for.
-
Lubricate and Install New Impeller: Lightly lubricate the inside of the housing and the new impeller with a water-resistant grease or dish soap. Insert the new impeller, bending the blades in the direction of the pump's rotation.
-
Install New Gasket/O-Ring: Place the new gasket or O-ring onto the pump body, ensuring it is seated correctly.
-
Replace the Cover: Reinstall the cover plate and tighten the screws in a star pattern to ensure even pressure. Do not overtighten.
-
Reconnect and Test: Re-open the seacock. Reconnect the battery. Start the engine and immediately check the pump and exhaust for proper water flow and for any leaks around the cover plate.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my engine?
A: This impeller fits pre-2005 Volvo Penta 3.0L, 4.3L, 5.0L, and 5.7L gasoline engines that use a 12-spline drive pump. The most reliable method is to match your existing part number to one of the numbers listed in our cross-reference table. Please verify fitment before purchasing.
Q: What are the common signs of a worn or failing water pump impeller?
A: Key indicators include the engine running hotter than normal, a noticeable reduction in water flowing from the exhaust outlet, or visible cracks, stiffness, or missing blades upon inspection of the impeller itself.
Q: How often should I replace the impeller?
A: As a preventative maintenance item, we recommend inspecting your impeller annually and replacing it every 1-2 seasons of use. For boats operated in saltwater or in water with heavy sand or silt, a more frequent replacement interval is advisable.

A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
