I can't get any water to pump through the sea water pump. Do i need to prime it? We've tried everything we can think of. And second, where do I hook up water muffs to get a good seal on this drive?

Sorry, It's an aq130c. The impeller is fine and not old at all. I think it might be in the leg. The raw water pump seems to pump water if i fill the hose up.
Re: URGENT: Volvo/Chrysler 270 not pumping water...
It's definently in the leg part. If i run a hose from the raw water pump to a bucket, it pumps plenty of water through. So, does anyone have a suggestion for my next move? Thanks

Look at the hose connection where the hose from the transom shield attaches to the drive.
That connection corrodes away and you get an air leak.
No way will the pump pull water up if it has air.
