The Sherwood 10615K is a neoprene impeller kit measuring 2-9/16 inches across and 1-5/8 inches wide, made for a 5/8 inch shaft. Besides the impeller, it holds a gasket, an o-ring and a technical service guide. Neoprene is elastic and springs back well, and it is rated to a maximum of 130°F. One impeller of this type can fit more than one pump application, so check the part number against your pump before you rely on it.

Our take

The 130°F neoprene temperature ceiling is the figure to keep in mind against the water the pump moves. The kit adds a gasket and o-ring to the impeller, so the seals can be replaced in the same job.

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.
