Jabsco 15297-1010 Cam Ring Kit
The Jabsco 15297-1010 is the genuine cam ring kit for Jabsco 15780-0000 and 15780-0100 bronze marine diesel engine cooling pumps, with flanged ports. The cam ring is the offset ring inside the body that squeezes the impeller vanes to move water and make the pump self-priming.
These pumps supply raw water to the engine heat exchanger, so a worn part shows up as rising engine temperature, slow priming or reduced flow at the overboard discharge. Replace worn parts during a planned overhaul rather than waiting for an overheat alarm, and inspect the neighboring parts in the pump end at the same time, since they wear together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know the cooling pump needs attention?
Rising engine temperature, reduced flow at the overboard discharge and slow priming after start are the usual signs.
Q: Should I rebuild the whole pump at once?
On a critical engine it is good practice to replace the wear parts together during a planned overhaul.
Q: Can the pump run dry?
Only briefly at start while it primes. Close the seacock only with the engine stopped.
Q: What should I inspect while the pump is open?
Check the impeller, cam ring, plate faces, shaft seal and bearings, since they wear together.
