    Drain Seals Change on DPs?

    Previous versions of the DPs included an o ring on the gear drain bolt. Now instead of the the o ring I see a series of washers and magnets on the diagram on Volvo Penta store. Anybody have any input on the change? My unit is the DP-S1. Thanks.

    Pinion Bearing Carrier disassembly - DP-SM

    Sea Water Pump - Normal Wear

    Just changing out the impeller and making sure this looks like normal wear and I noticed that one of the cam fingers is bent back a little. Is this of great concern, should I try and bend it back? It also looks like the PO used the screwdriver method do get the old impellers out. Thanks!
