Installation Notes

  1. Close the engine's water inlet seacock.
  2. Loosen the sea water pump's cover plate screws and remove the cover.
  3. Use pliers or an impeller puller to carefully remove the old impeller. Note the rotational direction of the blades.
  4. Clean the inside of the pump housing and the cover plate, ensuring no old impeller pieces remain.
  5. Lightly lubricate the new impeller and housing interior with water-resistant grease or soap.
  6. Install the new impeller with a twisting motion, ensuring the blades are oriented in the correct direction.
  7. Align and install the new O-ring in its groove. A light adhesive can hold it in place.
  8. Reinstall the pump cover and tighten the screws evenly. Do not overtighten.
  9. Open the seacock and start the engine, immediately checking the pump for leaks.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this impeller kit will fit my engine?

This kit is for Volvo Penta 3.0L, 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L, and 8.1L engines from 1999–2005 that use a crank-driven sea water pump. Please verify your pump model and part number against our compatibility tables before ordering.

What are signs of a failing impeller or stop lug?

Common signs of impeller failure include engine overheating at idle or low speeds, reduced water flow from the exhaust, and cracks or stiffness in the impeller blades. The stop lug can degrade over time and become a soft, gooey mess, which indicates an urgent need for replacement to prevent impeller slippage.

What is the purpose of the stop lug?

The stop lug is a critical component that fits into a slot on the pump shaft. It prevents the impeller from spinning freely on the shaft, ensuring it engages correctly and pumps water efficiently. This kit includes the necessary stop lug.

How often should a sea water pump impeller be replaced?

For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect your impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, or after every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions (e.g., water quality, frequency of use). Always replace it if you notice any signs of wear or damage.
