My buddie has the above mentioned motor and outdrive on his boat. I am not and Inboard guy, but he is having some issues with the engine getting too hot that we have been trying to fix for the last season. he has put in a new Water Pump and Sea pump risers etc. I mentioned to him that it might just be an impeller on the lower unit that is worn out and cant pump water all the way around as fast as needed when running @ higher RPMS. He doesnt think that this lower unit has an impeller...so the question really is...does it? and if so, do you have to drop the lower unit to change it like i have to on the OMC O/B?? If anyone knows, please feel free to share. Thanks<br /><br />Scott

No. Volvos do not have impellars in the lowers. Crankmounted or belt driven only.
