Volvo Penta Raw Water Pump Impeller Kit – Part No. 21951346
Part Number: 21951346
Brand: Volvo Penta
Supersedes: No documented earlier OEM number

Aftermarket Cross-References: Johnson Pump 09-812B-1, Sierra 18-3057 (verify fitment independently before substituting)
Overview
This is a genuine Volvo Penta OEM raw water pump impeller kit for D4 and D6 diesel engines and compatible V6/V8 gasoline applications. The kit includes a precision-molded flexible rubber impeller along with the pump cover gasket, O-ring/sealing components, and installation lubricant needed for a complete pump service. As an OEM kit, all components are matched to the original pump specifications for hub type, blade profile, and sealing dimensions.
System
Raw-Water / Seawater Cooling System – Impeller Pump. The impeller circulates seawater through the engine cooling circuit. Degraded impeller vanes reduce flow and can cause overheating or shed blade fragments into the cooling system.
Kit Contents
- 1 x flexible rubber raw water pump impeller
- Pump cover gasket
- O-ring / sealing components
- Installation lubricant
Compatible Applications
- Volvo Penta D4 series diesel engines
- Volvo Penta D6 series diesel engines
- Select Volvo Penta V6 gasoline engines with compatible raw water pump configuration
- Select Volvo Penta V8 gasoline engines with compatible raw water pump configuration
- Other Volvo Penta engines using the compatible pump assembly – confirm by engine serial number and raw water pump diagram
Serial Number & Fitment Notice
Raw water pump configurations vary across engine families, model years, and production runs. Always confirm part number 21951346 against your engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta raw water pump diagram before ordering. Hub type and blade count are key identifiers — visually similar impellers in this range are not always interchangeable.
Service Interval
Replace the raw water pump impeller annually or every 100–200 hours, whichever comes first. In saltwater or high-use applications, annual replacement is strongly recommended regardless of hours. Do not wait for overheating symptoms — a degraded impeller can shed blade fragments that travel downstream and damage heat exchangers or thermostats.
When to Replace
Replace this impeller kit when the existing impeller shows cracked, missing, or hardened vanes, reduced cooling water flow at the exhaust, or any engine overheating. Also replace after extended storage where the impeller may have taken a permanent set. Replace the gasket, O-ring, and apply fresh lubricant at the same time — all are included in this kit.
Installation Notes
Apply the included lubricant to the impeller before insertion — dry installation can damage the blades immediately on first start. Install with the correct vane rotation direction for the pump. Replace all gaskets and O-rings included in the kit. Inspect the pump housing bore for scoring or wear. After reassembly, check the cooling circuit for any broken vane debris before returning the engine to service.
Technical FAQ
Q: Can I use the Johnson Pump 09-812B-1 or Sierra 18-3057 instead?
A: These are listed as aftermarket cross-references for this impeller. Aftermarket impellers may differ in material grade or hub tolerance. Verify fitment independently against your pump assembly before substituting an aftermarket kit for the OEM.
Q: How do I know if my impeller has failed?
A: Common signs include engine overheating, reduced raw-water flow at the exhaust, or visible blade damage when the pump cover is removed. A blade that does not spring back when bent has hardened and should be replaced even if it appears intact.
Q: What happens if a blade breaks off?
A: Broken impeller blades travel through the cooling circuit and can lodge in heat exchangers, thermostats, or other restrictions. If you find a damaged impeller with missing blades, flush the cooling circuit and inspect downstream components before returning the engine to service.

Parts Desk Insights
This impeller kit is the standard annual service item for the D4 and D6 raw water pump. The most common issue is ordering by visual match or aftermarket cross-reference without confirming the hub type and blade profile against the OEM pump diagram — impellers in this size range look nearly identical but are not always interchangeable. If you are unsure, pull the pump cover first and match the existing impeller by part number before ordering. Pairing this kit with the pump cover screw kit 21951334 is the cleanest way to complete the service in one pass.
