Jabsco 1673-1001 Bronze Pedestal Pump
The Jabsco 1673-1001 is a bronze pedestal-mount flexible impeller pump built for reliable fluid transfer in demanding environments. With a neoprene impeller, a Buna N lip seal, and 1/2" NPT ports, this bare-shafted pump end offers self-priming performance right out of the box, making installation simpler and eliminating the need for a foot valve.
Its bronze housing paired with a 316 stainless steel shaft gives it excellent resistance to corrosion, which is why it performs well not just aboard boats, but also in industrial and agricultural settings. The pump can lift fluid several feet on dry suction and even further once wetted, and it runs equally well in either direction depending on shaft rotation. Sealed ball bearings keep the unit running smoothly with minimal upkeep.
Because the pump relies on a single moving part, the flexible impeller itself, it avoids the wear and noise issues that come with gear-driven designs. Replaceable cams and wearplates extend its service life significantly, making it a practical choice for anyone who needs dependable, long-term pumping performance without frequent part replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Jabsco 1673-1001 come with a motor?
A: No, this is a bare-shafted pedestal pump end intended to be belt or pulley driven by an external motor or engine.
Q: Can this pump run dry without damage?
A: Brief dry running is tolerated for priming purposes, but extended dry operation can damage the neoprene impeller, so fluid contact should be restored quickly.
Q: Which direction can the pump operate in?
A: The 1673-1001 can operate in either rotational direction, with intake and discharge ports determined by shaft rotation direction.
Q: Is this pump suitable for non-marine use?
A: Yes, beyond marine engine cooling, it is commonly used in industrial transfer, agricultural water pumping, and general liquid handling tasks.
Q: What maintenance does this pump typically need?
A: Routine maintenance mainly involves periodic impeller replacement and inspection of the cam and wearplate, both of which are replaceable for extended service life.
