I have an 83 Bayliner with a Volvo 260 and I think an aq270 or 280 outdrive and need to find out about changing the Iimpeller. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: impeller help

The impeller is located in the pump mounted to the harmonic balancer. Remove the brass screws holding the cover, carefully pry the impeller out using a couple screwdrivers being careful not to damage the pump housing, install the new impeller. Don't worry about the new impeller fins being in the correct position since they will correct themselves once the engine turns over. Dont run the engine without water flowing to the impeller.

Go to Engine database - Engine database : Volvo Penta

IN the 'engine type' box, enter aq260a. It will allow you to download an owners manual which may give you a better understanding of your drivetrain.
