- This week we show how to replace the Impeller on a Volvo Penta 5.7 gi-e Marine Engine. These engines are in many different boats, this one happens to be a 2004 Chapparal these instructions will help a wide variety of boat owners as the basics of this job remain fairly consistent regardless of what motor you have.
Below are the links to the common parts we used. Keep in mind this is for a 2004 Chapparal Sunesta with a gasoline 5.7l Volvo Penta GI-E style engine.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.

Like the vid. Two comments. Do not have to worry about putting impeller with blades the correct position. They will be correct as first turn motor. Second comment. I have a 202 Cobalt 206 with 5.7 Volvo. After experimenting i found that only have to loosen the bolts to the bracket. Impeller unit comes off. Much easier than trying to put the bolts back after completely removing. Took me 3 years before realized could do that.
Loved the video. My old Merc had the impeller inside the lower unit, and required more labor. The new Volvo is so much easier to service the impeller. Can't wait to try it. Thank you for the DIY instructions.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Helped a lot.
Great video!
You can also use silicon lubricant from your plumbing supply store. I also added a 0-30 psi gauge on my thermostat housing, it conveniently had a 1/4 inch plug in it so I didnt need to drill and tap. This year I am going to put the gauge on the dash and run a 1/4 inch line up to it. This lets you monitor your pump pressure and lets you see when the impeller is starting to wear out.
Perfect thanks for the vid 👍🏼
Great video! Question, since you were in the water, did you have to close the seacocks before removing the impeller housing and draining?
Nice video, I’m jealous of course. What inner coastal waterway are you on.
Good job. I have the Volvo Penta 4.3L V6 with the exact same impeller housing. I have a
Not really sure why you wanted to catch the water in the little bucket since your bilge was all ready full of water? Otherwise great video!
zip tie to fold impeller an it will push off as impeller goes inn
Great video! Does the inlet refer to the hose going back to the transom or is the inlet referring to the hose that goes to the thermostat??
Hi. Replaced the impeller and it went great. Hooked the hose up to test and with the hose on there is a slow drip from the 6 o’clock position. Gasket is new and seems to be correct. Thoughts? Thanks in advance
Excellent video, but I knew from the start that the shortcut would not work!
Torque specs please?
I would love to hear how you have done this work and if you have found this video helpful and accurate for those with this engine and would others with a different engine still get value from it?
Great video! This gives me confidence to do it myself. Question, If your boat is in the water, do you still need to hook up the hose and run water in the engine before restarting?
Why did you point out where the hole must stay?
is vaseline safe to use?
Part number please 5.7
