Marine Flexible Impeller Applications
Jabsco flexible impellers are designed for compatible bronze flexible impeller pumps, including pumps used for marine engine cooling, bilge pumping, transfer applications, and general-purpose pumping.
Correct fit is essential when replacing a marine pump impeller. Before ordering, compare the replacement impeller with the original or verify the pump manufacturer's specifications for diameter, shaft dimensions, drive type, blade count, and insert configuration.
Preventative Impeller Maintenance
Jabsco recommends replacing impellers at least once every year, or sooner depending on engine duty and operating conditions. Although an appropriately installed impeller may last longer under certain conditions, following a regular preventative maintenance schedule can help reduce the possibility of unexpected maintenance issues.
Always carry a spare impeller on board. Having a replacement available is especially important for boats that rely on flexible impeller pumps for engine cooling and other essential pumping applications.
Impeller Replacement
To replace the impeller, remove the pump end-cover screws and carefully extract the existing impeller. A Jabsco Impeller Removal Tool can be used to grip the impeller hub. Channel-lock pliers may also be used when appropriate.
Do not use screwdrivers to pry out the impeller. This can damage the pump body or sealing surface and may result in leaks.
Before installing the new impeller, grease the impeller with a lubricant recommended for the pump and impeller material. Greasing helps ease installation into the pump bore and provides lubrication during initial pump priming. After installation, replace the gasket and reinstall the end cover according to the pump manufacturer's instructions.
