Hi I purchased a Wellcraft with a Volvo 230A Penta I/O, it had not been used for 3 -4 seasons. The previos owner had removed the water pump impeller, but it had a crack so installed a new Volvo 875575 inpeller kit. I put the boat in the water and it goes well over the center mark almost to 250 in the gray area on the gauge at idle @ 1000 rpm through a channel but temp drops to over center line at 3000rpm or so. When I got back at blew some antifreeze out of the cap.
Please help, any advice is appriciated!

Welcome.

Go to this link,
type in 230a in the "engine type" box, hit enter

http://www.volvo.com/volvopenta/global/en-gb/marine_leisure_engines/parts_service/publication_search/publication_search.htm

Now go back and type in AQ131 will give you a choice of model a - d I suppose.

Lool through those and you will find a bunch of info and help you understand how it works.

That boat should run at 180 to 190 I believe. It should say in one of those PDF's I linked you too.

Good Luck!!
