Volvo Penta Impeller Kits

was what I expected and arrived a day early

Delivered ahaed of time.

Never again will I substitute another brand impeller to save money.This inferior product never made it to the water.When I started the engine WITH WATER HOOKED UP the impeller housing reached 300 F.After replacing the old VOLVO impeller it ran at 72F.This was an expensive lesson.

I was disappointed in this part. It is not an original Volvo/Penta part, the gaskets were scrunched and deformed in the too small packaging, there was no glycerine for assembly and the impeller felt softer and less resilient than the original Volvo/Penta. My advice, pay a little more and get a genuine Volvo/Penta for such an important part. Iboats has been very good about returning it so I have no complaints about the way they handled the transaction.

This Sierra impeller kit is a replacement for the discontinued Volvo Penta kit part number 3862567, or new kit part number 21213660. Seems to be the same as the Volvo Penta, however, the Sierra kit doesn't include the tube of glycerine that's needed when installing the impeller (this can be bought for under $4 at a pharmacy or large mart store). It also comes with a rubber disc that's not included in the Volvo Penta kit. I called Sierra about this disc, and the tech there said it goes over the shaft inside the housing as a buffer. I don't know if it's really needed. Never used one before. If they would've included a tube of glycerine, I'd have rated it a 5.
