Hello everyone. I just bought my first boat . Its an 83 bayliner capri with the 125a volvo motor. I've had it out four times in two weeks. yesterday it started overheating and i noticed water spraying out of the little hole on the top of the water pump. I was wondering how difficult to rebuild or should i just buy a new one. Rebuild is about a third the cost.

Re: AQ125a volvo water pump rebuild.

Which "Water pump" are you referring to?
The raw water pump, or the engine circulation pump?

If it's the raw water pump, they can be rebuilt if the housing is not worn out or damaged.

That kit is for the raw water pump, not the engine circulation pump (antifreeze side).

Thank you don for responding to my post. Do you know where i might be able to buy a used one ? I think $350 for a water pump is a little pricey . Again thank you for your help .
