## 📋 Kit Contents

-   End Cover Kit

## 🔌 Function

The end cover closes the impeller chamber, provides a flat axial wear surface and seals the pump against air and seawater leakage.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Water leaks around the cover
-   Cover is grooved by the impeller
-   Pump draws air and loses prime
-   Seals are hardened or damaged
-   A cover-only aftermarket part is installed without the required seal package

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Services both D13 and D16 pump variants — confirm your engine's pump family before ordering, since the fits list is shared but not universal across every Volvo Penta seawater pump
-   Forms the wear surface the impeller blades run against — inspect the old cover for scoring or a stepped wear pattern, since a worn cover reduces flow even with a new impeller fitted
-   Superseded from 21541791 — check the sealing components supplied match the pump revision fitted, particularly on an older engine being serviced for the first time in years
