Came here looking for the same information. I have to do mine this week. Please pass along anything you find!

Yes once you take out the carrier it pulls right out.

THAT is a good question. I don't believe flushing like I did for contamination would be adequate. I suspect there are metal particles in the bearings, etc. I'd consult with an expert on that one. And research yourself. Installing a new lower unit ($$$$) I'd want to be sure the top end was good to go. Regardless, good luck. Thanks!

My new one has a slight wobble. Is yours worse than mine in the video (6:20)? I don't remember if the old one wobbled or not, it was an aftermarket too. I've read comments new OEM's can have a slight wobble as well. Myself, I'm no longer concerned with my slight wobble and trying to put it out of my memory.

Hey Jon, I keep my boat on a lift as well. What I do is lift the drive while still in the water, put muffs on (I have a swim platform), turn on the hose and make sure there is a good seal. Then lower the drive and flush for 10 minutes or so while it's up to temp. I was going to put one of the volvo flush connections on the hose as well. It would work the same, you can't rev it up as it would then pull in sea water. Once the motor is shut off, this intake would mix with sea water but before the pump. I couldn't find the correct fitting to put in the intake hose. Plus it would be another point of failure with the clamps and the plastic connector. Your mileage may vary. Thx!!

Sorry for the late response Terry, Mine is holding up fine but I've only put about 20 hrs on it since the install. I debated myself on OEM vs aftermarket but took the chance. If this one lasts a year or two, I'm ahead. BUT I boat in Salt and the spray off the belt would cause havoc. I'd have to wash the engine if this were due to happen. I feel your pain. Thx for the comment! Let us know how you make out.

@@chrisg1076 Yeah, I rebuilt my OEM pump for about $40 but it only lasted one season which is about 25hrs for me. When salt water starts running out the weep hole the belt sprays it everywhere and I had to replace two pulleys that severely corroded due to the spray. Just rebuilt it again so will be keeping a close eye on it.

@@pauldionne2884 I know what you mean. Due to the former owner running it in salt with a weeping circulating pump, I had to replace the alternator, idler pully, power steering pully and descale everything else. Keep an eye for sure!

Mera, I know what you're talking about. I bought a knockoff trim sensor. Worked for 2 trips and 'Poof!' Guess it's all a gamble really. Myself, it wasn't worth the $$$. Glad you made it back safe. Myself, I carry towing but near a jetty with current, you were lucky and good to keep the old one. Smart move!

Hey Djr, been Okay. BUT I haven't been out much since the last big trip. The one I ordered is no longer available I believe but there others that are listed lower in the page of the link. I'd read the comments and see what they have to say. I did see some OEM remarks that they 'wiggle' as well. If you find one and it works for you, let us know pls! Best of luck. Thx!

Everything still working well with the new pump?

@@troystancil4500 Yes Troy, it still is (Knock on wood).

Yes, the fitting for the gear oil pump. Brass with O ring. Not the plastic type.

@@chrisg1076 Thank you for the response

I can see your thoughts. I've wondered about that as well. In my mind I just put in the realm what if you toss a rod though the oil pan and fracture the fiberglass. Hope it never happens! There is a fairly strong arm that keeps the pump itself from spinning. Could it get knocked off or broken, I suspect so.

@chrisg1076 Rod through the pan and bottom of the boat! Great, now I have something else to worry about. ;-)

Sorry for the delay. Take a look at 5:46 and see if that hose routing looks the same as yours? The bottom hose is the long one. I would get a pic but the boat is on the lift right now. Let us know how you make out.

@@chrisg1076 Awesome! Thanks so much for the help ….just installed the new pump and its running good! 👍

@@bradychase6131 Awesome! Good to hear!

Hey Allen, I like your comment about the pipe for inserting the seal!!! I got the idea from the permatex from a website forum. Can't remember where at this time but a highly respected person that did this for a living said in school that is what they used. Always put sealant on the seal. Myself I didn't agree but the more I read, I did it anyway. Don't know if this helped or not but so far (knock on wood), no contamination in the gear lube. Yes! I agree that bolt and shim stock is a bear! Patience was my key. Those 3 finger grab tools are great to have around. There is a volvo tool for doing this as shown in the manual download. I improvised as you are. Just take your time and please let us know how you made out. My carrier was really in tight and have seen damage others did with galvanized pipe. If you were able to do it with ABS, that is great! Seems like you put a lot of thought into it. Keep us updated please and best of luck! Patience, flashlight and afterwards, a couple beers!

Thanks for the quick reply, as luck would have it I failed the pressure test, the shop that worked on my boat last year broke the carrier housing and tried to repair it with JB weld and didn’t tell me. They did a horrible job and it didn’t hold. Looks like my shaft bearing is showing wear on it also so I am giving up and taking the boat to a different shop. Likes like my boating season will be shortened by 3-4 weeks. I will keep an eye out for more of your videos I appreciate how through you are In Your repairs.

@@allancote3952 Crap so sorry to hear! That is why I try to do stuff myself as even some of the 'so called professionals' are not that. I once had a Volvo 280 repaired at a shop. The next person who got into it said there were teeth missing on the gears and no shavings in the oil. Again, sorry to hear. 3 to 4 weeks aint nuthing. Grass needs cutting, ants need to be gone, etc. Family time. Keep your chin up and make it through the grind. I chalk it up as a 'test' to see your patience. Best of luck, stay in touch!

Check that your hoses are not reversed.

Diego, did you ever get your issue fixed?

@@chrisg1076 yes I did ended up buying a whole new pump on Amazon and fixed my issue!

I have the same issue and I’m stumped!

Did you guys make sure you put the hoses on correctly? I'm suspecting yes as it would be difficult to mix them up. Are you on muffs with the issue of intake water? May want to make sure the hub in the impeller isn't spun. I've never experienced that but I've heard others have.

Yes, make sure the hoses are not reversed or you get no flow. Mine had a cracked fitting on the intake hose, inside the lower unit. But that never affected anything when I had the garden hose on its attachment next to the sea pump.

Hope it helped. Let us know how you made out.
