This Jabsco impeller is made of nitrile, has nine blades and a spline drive, and measures 3-3/4" across by 2-1/2" high on a 1" shaft. It is a single impeller. The maker points nitrile impellers at bilge pumping and at transfer duties. It also advises greasing new impellers, replacing them at least once a year or sooner, and carrying spares aboard in case of emergency.

Our take

The nitrile blades on this 9-blade, 3-3/4" impeller are the maker's pick for bilge pumping and transfer duties, so check your pump's duty before settling on the material. Greasing it on installation is advised.

From our buying guide

The impeller depends on the pump, so find it by the pump's model number. Makers' schedules differ, with some saying every year and others every 300 hours or three years, so go by the one for your engine.

Check before you buy:

  • It matches your old one on blade count, shaft diameter, outside diameter, material, drive type and depth.
  • You've checked any substitute against the pump housing, since cross-references are the makers' own claims.
  • The material suits the job. Jabsco recommends neoprene for engine cooling, and nitrile for bilge pumping and water with oil or diesel.
