Impellers

Don't get stranded on the water.

Replace all impellers at least once every year, or sooner, depending on the engine duty. When the installation is correct an impeller may last for several years, but it is always advisable to stick to a schedule of preventative, rather than corrective, maintenance.


Replacing impellers is easy. By removing the end cover screws, it is possible to remove the impeller by using either a Jabsco Impeller Removal Tool, or channel lock pliers, to grip the hub of the impeller. Do not use screwdrivers as they may damage the face of the pump body, causing leaks.


Always carry spare impellers on board in case of emergency. (and the tools necessary to replace them) The impeller is one of the most vital components of the engine cooling system and should always be treated as such. 


Always grease new impellers. Firstly, it makes it easier to install the impeller into the pump bore, and secondly it gives added protection to the impeller during initial prime.
