Water Pump Coupler Cross Piece 831009 for Volvo Penta AQ120 AQ131 AQ151 AQ171
Water Pump Coupler Cross Piece 831009 for Volvo Penta AQ120 AQ131 AQ151 AQ171
Product Overview
Water pump coupler, also sold as a cross piece, for Volvo Penta AQ and BB petrol sterndrive engines, supplied as 1 x coupler. It replaces Volvo Penta 831009 and 806256 and fits the AQ120, AQ125, AQ131, AQ140, AQ145, AQ151, AQ165, AQ170 and AQ171 engines as well as the 230, 250 and 251 series and the AQD21 and MD21 diesels. The coupler is the plastic cross that drives the sea water pump off the front of the engine. It is deliberately the part that strips when the pump seizes or when the impeller swallows debris, which saves the pump shaft and the timing gears, but it also means a stripped coupler looks exactly like a failed pump: the engine overheats and the pump pulley stops turning while the belt still runs.

Before You Buy
- Check the engine model against the list, AQ120 through AQ171 all use this coupler
- Look at the cross piece before ordering, a stripped one has rounded slots
- Find out why it stripped, a seized pump or a jammed impeller will destroy the new one too
- Renew the raw water impeller at the same time, debris that strips the coupler usually damages it
- Check the coupler slot engages fully on the pump shaft before tightening the pump
- 30-Day Easy Returns
