the sea water pump has sprung a leak and is dribbling into the bilge, can get a kit to overhaul the pump, is this worth doing or is it worth just replacing the whole pump for new??????? thanks <br /><br />si

s1jor,<br />Where is the pump leaking?<br />Pull the pump, very simple to do and confirm where the leak is.<br />I do not have my manual at hand so I'm afraid I can't confirm if the shaft seal can be replaced. I know if you order a impeller kit it comes with a new gasket for the main body.<br />For some reason I can't access the following web page that has exploded drawings of all Volvo parts.http://volvopentaparts.stemtostern.com/

Pull it apart and put a new shaft seal in along with a new impeller and gasket. Seal can be had at any bearing supply house...
