Description

Product Overview

The SouthMarine flexible impeller pump, model 09-1026B, is engineered for high‑performance water circulation in a wide range of inboard marine engines. Constructed with a six‑blade brass hub, the impeller delivers smooth, turbulence‑free flow while resisting corrosion caused by saltwater exposure. Each blade is precision‑cut to a height of 22 mm, providing optimal hydraulic efficiency and reduced wear over time. The external impeller diameter of 51 mm and internal shaft insert of 12.7 mm ensure a perfect fit for Jabsco, Johnson, and Volvo engine families, eliminating the need for costly modifications. Lightweight at just 1.28 ounces, the unit measures 5.12 × 3.54 × 0.98 inches, making it easy to install and service.

Usage

Designed for marine environments, this flexible impeller pump excels in both recreational and commercial vessels. Whether powering a small fishing boat, a luxury yacht, or a work‑boat, the pump maintains consistent coolant flow, protecting engine components from overheating. Its compatibility with Jabsco, Johnson, and Volvo inboard engines means it can be used in a variety of hull configurations, from shallow‑draft craft to deep‑sea vessels. The pump also performs reliably in high‑temperature climates, making it suitable for tropical waters where engine cooling is critical. Installation requires only basic hand tools, and the impeller can be swapped out quickly during routine maintenance, minimizing vessel downtime.
