Jabsco 12685-0000 Bearing Housing
The Jabsco 12685-0000 is a genuine Jabsco replacement bearing housing. The bearing housing carries the pump bearings and holds the shaft in line with the pumping chamber, so it sets how true the shaft runs and how well the shaft seal and impeller last. Jabsco uses this part number on specific pump models only, so match it against the parts list for the model number on your pump plate before ordering.
Housings are replaced when they are cracked, corroded, worn in the bores or damaged by a failed bearing that spun in its seat. A worn bearing bore lets the shaft run out of line, which wears the seal, bearings and impeller quickly. Inspect the bores and faces carefully at every overhaul, and fit new seals and bearings when the housing is replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I replace the bearings with the housing?
Yes. The pump is fully apart, and bearings that have run in a worn housing are rarely worth refitting.
Q: How do I check a housing for wear?
Look for scoring in the bores, a bearing that is loose in its seat, cracks around bolt holes and corrosion on sealing faces.
Q: What damages a housing?
A failed bearing that spins in its seat, corrosion from seal leakage and freeze damage are the usual causes.
Q: Do I need special tools?
Bearings are usually pressed in and out, so a press or suitable drivers make the job cleaner and avoid damage.
