Volvo Penta 3 0l Sx Drive Wont Suck Water Youtube Messages. 6,761. apr 3, 2008. #6. re: volvo penta gl not pulling water, help!! thermostat housing, exhaust manifold water inlet, power steering cooler lines, anywhere really have to start "ahead" of the blockage and work your way back to the pump removing and blowing thru hoses and inspecting fittings and housings. Messages. 62,321. apr 3, 2013. #6. re: volvo penta 3.0 overheating problem. if there is an air leak between the drive and the raw water pump, then the pump will not suck water up from the drive. remove the hose from the raw water pump to the thermostat housing at the housing and start the engine and see if water comes out of the hose.
Volvo Penta Outdrive Leaking Water Remember on any engine that has an engine mounted impeller the water being fed by the muffs must travel up about 18" through the transom mount and then approx 3.5' forward to the impeller housing. the impeller cannot suck water, with air in that line. it can only move water that is present in the impeller housing. Remember that this particular sea water pump is engine mounted. this means that it pulls water up and through the drive. the volvo penta 230b w volvo sp cd trim stern drive is one of the last of the aq series drives. this system uses a water neck fitting that will be on top of the suspension fork. these are a "wear item" and must be routinely. Will not comsume any water using muffs. 1) held muffs onto the drive and put a finger over the pee hole on front of gear housing. 4) pulled incoming and outgoing hose from raw water pump and flushed both with hose. prior to this impeller change it would prime and flush from the muffs. try replacing the cam in the pump.
