Jabsco Pumps

A Jabsco Amazon pump will become an integral part of your bilge pumping system. Correct installation of the whole system is essential if you want the pump to perform properly, operate reliably and safely, and to give satisfactory length of life. The pump is delivered ready for installation, but can be adapted by the installer to suit different types of location. Select a location that allows you to pump comfortably for long periods of time, preferably with the handle rocking vertically towards and away from you at waist height. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for you to use the full stroke of the handle without injury to your hands and arms. You must be able to get easy access to the pump chamber and both inlet and outlet valves in the event of a blockage occurring. For safety, locate the pump - whether above or below decks - where you can operate it with all hatches and lockers fully closed.
