Stus-List Jabsco Shower Sump Pump Replacement

I replaced the original Jabsco pump (and the hoses) for my shower drain a long time ago. For ease of carrying spares and parts, I use the same ShurFlo pump model on my fresh water system, my deck wash, and my shower drain/icebox pumpout. The ShurFlo is a lot quieter than the Jabsco. (I instal

Well I took it apart and there was no clog (in any of the lines, pick up etc) and rubber looked serviceable but is stiff and probably why it's not pulling. In lieu of the $100 replacement parts, I am likely to take the advice and replace it with a small Rule bilge pump assuming I have the clearance

To add to Ken's possibility of dirt, the rubber can also lose it's flexibility and take on a set. As for spending $100 dollars on a rebuild kit... it seems like a low percentage of the replacement cost. My dewatering pump was a tri-plex diaphram style and it stopped pumping because of the diaphra

Usually, if the diaphragm isn't ruptured, the problem is a little bit of dirt or hair in the intake or outlet valves. Definitely worth taking it apart for a looksee first. Ken H. On 9 March 2015 at 18:03, Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List wrote: > I've got a Jabsco 36970, 2.8gpm diaphragm pump for e

If you just dump it in the bilge.. I'm told that soapy water in the bilge is a bad idea as it promotes foul smelling bacteria. As for the pump, I just rebuilt mine (Has the same for fresh water pressure) instead of replacing. As I found out, it's still a 300-400$ pump for a reason.. Bullet proof

Kevin, I had the same problem — had one, never worked quite right, a big deal to replace. My cost-saving solution? I made a drain opening so that the shower drains into the bilge. Cost: $5.00. Time: 10 minutes. All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Starship Enterprise C&C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-17
