Description
Product Overview
The Jabsco 1673-1001 is a marine‑grade flexible impeller pump designed for demanding water handling tasks on boats, docks, and other marine environments. Constructed with a robust bronze housing, the pump offers superior corrosion resistance and a long service life even when exposed to saltwater and harsh weather conditions. The internal neoprene impeller provides a soft, flexible seal that adapts to varying flow rates while protecting the pump from debris and cavitation. A full cam design ensures smooth operation across the entire speed range, and the integrated lip seal prevents leaks, delivering consistent performance with minimal maintenance.
Key specifications include a maximum flow rate of 8.9 gallons per minute, a maximum lifting height of 7.8 feet, and a 1/2″ NPT port for easy connection to standard marine hoses. The pump operates on corded electric power, making it suitable for both permanent installations and portable applications. With a compact footprint of 6.6 x 4.4 x 4.4 inches and a weight of just 3 pounds, it can be mounted in tight spaces without sacrificing capability.
Usage
This pump excels in a variety of marine scenarios. Whether you need to transfer water from a flooded hull, circulate water through a cooling system, or provide fresh water for cleaning decks, the Jabsco 1673-1001 delivers reliable performance. Its flexible impeller design handles solids and particulates that might clog rigid‑impeller pumps, making it ideal for bilge pumping, ballast management, and dockside water exchange. The 1/2″ NPT port matches common marine hose fittings, allowing quick hookup to existing plumbing without the need for adapters.
Boaters, marinas, and offshore service technicians appreciate the pump’s ease of installation and low noise operation. Because the pump runs on standard 120 V AC power, it can be powered from shore electricity, onboard generators, or inverter systems, providing flexibility for both permanent and temporary setups. The pump’s lightweight construction also makes it a convenient choice for portable emergency response kits, where rapid deployment can prevent water damage and maintain vessel stability.
