I don't think you'll find a free download anywhere. You can download the workshop manual from the BoatDiesel website - see here and enter D2-40 in the Find box. You need to join BoatDiesel in order to get download tokens; basic $25 membership gives you 50 download tokens.

The sea water pump has seals which can leak. Stripping and replacing seals is a simple enough job - just be sure to note which way around the seals are fitted on the shaft. There are lots of diagrams around, I find it useful to use VP dealer online shop diagrams as they indicate parts prices - see here for example.

Thanks for that info pvb before I start to strip it down , have you taken one off before ? if so is there any think I need to think about before removing it , ie do I have to mark the shaft the way it comes out or is there any bits that need I need to watch out for as I remove it .
The diagram looks straight forwards .
The engine only 3 years old thought we have done 1000 engine hours , I have found salt crystals around the pump so I am guessing one of the seal is going to need to be replace .

No, I haven't taken one off, but it should be fairly straightforward. You'll see from this diagram that there's a drive gear on the end of the shaft.

I assume you had found it on www.volvopenta.com but were looking for more cost effective source - its only paper copy at Euro72!

Go here:
http://www.volvopenta.com/VOLVOPENT..._ENGINES/Pages/out_of_production_engines.aspx

Enter:
Engine Type = D2
Engine Group = Inboard
-> Search

You should then get a list of engines, D2-40 at the top. Select the version you have, then it will bring up the documents and you will find the workshop manual near bottom of list (actually it seems to cover all versions).

VP - as disgrace!

I had the same problem on my D2-40 with about 400 hours!
The advice i got from VP was really poor. I opted to buy a new one not having stripped one down before. It's easy to remove but you will need a new paper gasket for the rear fixing plate and an O ring gasket on the front. There's a spriral drive gear on the shaft, which is on a taper- it's impossible for a diyer to remove. I found an enginner who tried with a puller and failed, and had to use oxy heat to release it.
I've the Workshop Manual which makes no mention of the spiral drive, nor did the 'experts' i spoke to at VP mention it. They did sell me an expensive pump, but didn't include the gaskets. When i complained it went to VP UK sales director, but all i got was weazel words. Frankly VP customer service is a disgrace!

Good luck,

John
