Sierra Impeller 18-30778 for Volvo Penta Water Pumps
The Sierra Impeller 18-30778 is a replacement water pump impeller engineered for Volvo Penta water pump applications. It is produced in an OEM-approved ISO9001 factory, with the compound for each Sierra impeller formulated based on size and application to deliver consistent, reliable performance in your engine's raw water cooling circuit. As the pumping element inside the water pump housing, the impeller's flexible vanes flex and release with each rotation to draw in and circulate cooling water, protecting the engine from overheating.
This impeller is built from a metal-reinforced construction and is offered in a distinctive green and purple color combination, making it easy to identify during service. It is sold as a single unit, ready to install as a direct replacement during routine water pump maintenance or when addressing reduced water flow, overheating, or a worn-out impeller. Sierra impellers are engineered to cover a wide range of outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engine applications, and the 18-30778 is designated for use in Volvo Penta water pumps.
