Well, you obviously never owned a Volvo before. Volvo has never used a pump in the outdrive.
Your raw water pump is on the front of the crankshaft of your engine.

Below is a link to the OEM service manual. The cooling system section explains how to change the impeller.

If you can do your own impeller, for the price do it before every season.
