Do volvo's drives have a water impeller in the drive to get the water up to the water pump? I'm looking at getting a 97 larson with a 3.0 volvo, what things should i check out on the engine to make sure its good, i've only owned mercruisers so i'm not sure what to look at thats special to volvo.

Re: Buying Volvo Question

Many Volvo setups use the engine mounted impeller pump.(belt driven)
You need to post the model and or serial numbers of the engine and drive.

Re: Buying Volvo Question

All Volvo sea water pumps are on the front of the engine. Yours will be driven by a belt.
