Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this pump fits my Volvo Penta 8.1L engine?

This pump fits 8.1L GM-based gasoline engines from 2005 and newer. Always verify your engine model against the compatibility table and match the OEM part number (21212800 or 3812518). Visually comparing your old part to the product images is also a critical step.

What are the signs of a failing seawater pump?

Common signs include engine overheating at idle or low speeds, visible water leaks from the pump housing or weep holes, reduced water flow from the exhaust, and unusual grinding or rattling noises coming from the pump assembly.

What is the recommended replacement interval for the impeller?

While the pump housing is built for longevity, the internal flexible impeller is a wear item. We recommend inspecting the impeller annually and replacing it every 1-2 years or 200 hours of use, whichever comes first, depending on operating conditions (e.g., sandy or silty water).

Does this pump include a new impeller?

Yes, this pump assembly comes with a new, high-quality impeller pre-installed to simplify the replacement process and ensure proper initial performance.

Is this a belt-driven pump?

No, this model is a crankshaft-mounted pump. It features a beltless pulley design and is driven directly by the engine's crankshaft.

What should I do if my engine still overheats after replacing the pump?

If overheating persists, check for other cooling system issues such as a clogged seacock or strainer, collapsed hoses, a blockage in the heat exchanger, or a faulty thermostat. Ensure there are no air locks in the system.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
