Jabsco Flexible Impeller Replacement
Jabsco flexible impellers are available for many makes and models of bronze flexible impeller pumps, including pumps used for engine cooling, bilge systems, water transfer, and general-purpose marine applications. Always verify the impeller dimensions, drive configuration, and pump application before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
For preventative maintenance, inspect the impeller regularly and replace it according to the pump manufacturer's recommended service schedule and the operating conditions of the application. Frequent engine use, extended periods of operation, or demanding service conditions may require more frequent replacement.
Impeller Replacement Tips
Replacing a flexible impeller can be straightforward when the proper tools and procedures are used. After removing the pump end-cover screws, the old impeller can be removed with a Jabsco impeller removal tool or suitable channel-lock pliers that grip the impeller hub.
Avoid using screwdrivers to pry against the pump body, as this can damage the sealing surface and potentially cause leaks. Using the correct removal tool also helps reduce the risk of damaging the pump or impeller.
Lubricate the New Impeller
Apply an appropriate lubricant to the new impeller before installation. Lubrication can make installation easier and helps protect the impeller during initial pump operation and priming. After installation, inspect and replace the gasket or O-ring as required, reinstall the pump end cover, and verify proper assembly before returning the pump to service.
Keep a Spare Marine Impeller On Board
A spare marine flexible impeller is an important item to keep on board. Because the impeller is a service component in many marine cooling and pumping systems, carrying a properly matched replacement can help minimize downtime if an impeller needs to be replaced while boating.
Shop Jabsco flexible impellers and marine pump replacement parts at U.S. Boating & Marine Supplies. Check your pump model and impeller specifications before ordering to ensure the replacement is compatible with your application.
