A great tip, bottle jack under the oil pan, remove the engine mount and throttle cable mounts then you can reach the 2 inner bolta easy peasy. When the 2 inner bolts are removed you can cut a notch with angle grinder so you only need to loosen them from behind and the rest you can screw with a normal screwdriver from the front. Good videos!
@Steve Walker Hello Steve, I am about to do the same thing, drilling out the holes of the pump base, so that I can use nuts from the front end. I will keep the existing bolt on the lower inboard side since it can not be removed towards the back side (the engine mount is in the way and I am not going to mess with that). Did you do this too?
By the way, I managed to loosen the bolts from the back side all the way by grinding a wrench to the absolute minimum size to call it a wrench. That worked well, in fact it takes half an hour now (honestly an hour or two :-) to remove the pump. Maybe that is the safer way if this needs to be done only once every 5-10 years..
I'm not sure that it was the rubber gasket that was leaking Tino. On my water pump (for a D2-40), there is an internal seal between the pump and the engine, and a second seal facing the impellor that keeps sea water from getting to the engine. The 'weap hole' at the bottom of the rear end of the water pump tells you which seal is leaking. You pull the gear off with a gear puller tool to get access to the seals. (That's how it works on my pump anyway.) I hope it is as easy as replacing that rubber gasket you showed. Good luck.
Thanks. It does not look like there is comming anything out by the "weap hole" but I will of course have an eye on the area when I put the whole system back together.
Hello Tino thanks again for this video. Always very educational ! I have a question though : the dented wheel that’s at the back of the pump is lubricated in some ways, right? How is it possible that you don’t have to take away the oil from the engine before you can dismantle the pump. I saw no oil spill when you did it.
Think the oil is standing lower than the dented wheel. Almost all oil is located in the oil pan when the engine is turned off. When running the oilpump sucks up the oil and pumps it around in the engine.
You mentioned the sea water pump was only 2 years old (now 4 years). How old was it when you replaced it? And was it leaking water when you replaced it? Ours is now leaking water and Volvo Penta is recommending we replace the pump. It is 18 yrs old, and is still the original with the green painted cap. Not the bronze like yours.
My sea waterpump was 12 years old when it was replaced due to it was leaking. The former owner replaced it but think a new gasket and bearings would have done the job as well.
Ha ha. No... safety first, if you have seen the ocean in bad weather electric is no go. The volvo can go for 32 hours straight at 7 knots (on 90L. diesel) and also provide power and heat to the boat.
Hi Tino! I have started the same operation and loosened the two bolts on the front side. I Am going to start loosening the ones on the backside now and it truly is a nightmare reaching the bolts. What kind of dimensions did you use on you wrench and its extender? Hilsener fra Norge :) !
Yes it's not easy to do anything on the engine, but it seems like I have used only a socket set to remove all the screws. In the set I have a long and a short extender and also a moveable joint extender to get into the tight areas. Think I got the screws loose with the socket wrench and then unscrewed the screws with the screwdriver socket.
I made an episode but I took it down again to prevent another robbery. They robbed me for around 2000 US dollars of value and they also broke my entrance hatch there has the costs of around 1500 US dollars to fix.

@@twiper hello. Thanks for tour vidéos. Had you any oil leaks after the o-ring replacement? I met the same situation. Thanks.
@@sergediradourian5042 No I have not discovered any leaks since I fixed the leak by the o-ring
@@twiper ok. Thanks again.
we used some liquid gasket to seal around the water pump. It hasn't leaked since.
Yes it is also possible to use liquid gasket if you have a small leak, but for the originality of the engine I used a new rubber gasket.

Which site you open in your phone.. for serching parts. Removal

Ohhh man! What a dissaster!
Yes. The worst thing is all the tools they have stolen, not very easy to do anyting without tools.
I had this problem on my 2030 and it was as Patrick lain said
Yes I know the most normal leak is by the "weap hole" but my pump is only 2 years old and had only driven 50 hours or so, but thanks for the info. :)
Tino, its time to change to an electric drive!!!!:):)
Ha ha. No... safety first, if you have seen the ocean in bad weather electric is no go. The volvo can go for 32 hours straight at 7 knots (on 90L. diesel) and also provide power and heat to the boat.
:) @@twiper just teasing you!!;) love you videos!! keep up with the great work!! MOOOOre videos please!!!:) :) :)

Why?
Why it's leaking ?
I deleted the videos because I do not want to encourage burglaries.
Tino! Did I hear you say you had some things stolen? Wow! I did know that: when was that?: do you have an episode on that?
I made an episode but I took it down again to prevent another robbery. They robbed me for around 2000 US dollars of value and they also broke my entrance hatch there has the costs of around 1500 US dollars to fix.
Good you deleted the burglary videos😄!
Yes, thanks for your comment :)
Why delete them? Insurrence stuff? Besides that great video again.
