Jabsco 17018-0001-P Flexible Neoprene Impeller Service Kit

The Jabsco 17018-0001-P is an eight-blade neoprene impeller kit for compatible water pumps. Its extended 76.2 mm depth is a defining feature: although the outside diameter is 65 mm, the impeller is substantially longer than several visually similar Jabsco models. A brass splined hub engages the specified 16 mm pump shaft.

Choosing the Correct Replacement

Select this version when the pump documentation calls for Jabsco 17018-0001. Measure the working depth as well as the diameter, and compare the spline arrangement with the removed impeller. The references below are identification aids for the original impeller, rather than a fitment promise for every engine made by those manufacturers.

Similar Impellers: What to Check

The 920-0001 also has eight blades, a 65 mm outside diameter and a 16 mm spline fitting, but its depth is 51 mm. The 17018 is 76.2 mm deep. This difference is critical to the fit inside the pump chamber.

OEM References & Cross-References

Jabsco lists the following reference numbers for this impeller family:

• Caterpillar: 3N5895
• Volvo Penta: 3583602

Use these numbers to identify the original impeller, then confirm the pump model and current replacement specification. An engine brand alone does not establish compatibility.

Service Kit Selection

This listing is the packaged -P impeller version. Match any supplied gasket or seal to the fitted pump and use only the correct end-cover sealing arrangement. An impeller service pack is not a complete pump overhaul kit: inspect the shaft, cam, cover and seals separately, and order additional worn parts as required.

Why Choose This Impeller?

• Correct replacement specification: The 8-blade configuration and spline drive help identify the required service part.
• Neoprene for water duties: Suitable for fresh and salt water applications where approved for the pump.
• Serviceable component: Replacing the impeller allows a compatible pump to be maintained without automatically replacing the complete assembly.

Installation & Maintenance

Follow the fitted pump's service instructions. Isolate its drive and close the relevant seacock before opening it. Remove the old impeller with a suitable tool, inspect the chamber for wear and recover any missing blade fragments. Fit the correct cover gasket or seal and lubricate the replacement with an installation lubricant approved for the pump and neoprene.

Restore the water supply before starting, then check for leaks and normal water delivery. Avoid dry running. Include the impeller in routine servicing and keep a matching spare available for essential onboard systems.
