Jabsco 17250-0003 Self-Priming Drill Pump
The Jabsco 17250-0003 is the Jabsco self-priming drill pump, a small plastic flexible impeller pump that chucks into a standard 1/4 in or 3/8 in electric drill and pumps up to about 3.5 GPM. It has a stainless steel shaft, a lip seal and 1/2 in hose barb ports, and it comes with two 3/4 in garden hose adapters.
Changing oil through the dipstick tube or a permanently plumbed drain line keeps used oil off the engine and out of the bilge, which is why oil change pumps are standard equipment on many boats. Warm the engine first so the oil flows freely, keep the suction end at the bottom of the sump, and never let a flexible impeller pump run dry for more than a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the pump slow on cold oil?
Cold oil is thick. Run the engine for a few minutes first, and keep suction hose runs short.
Q: How do I store it after use?
Pump a little clean light oil through it, then store it dry and protected from dirt.
Q: Should the engine be warm?
Yes. Warm oil is thinner and pumps faster, but let it cool enough to handle safely.
Q: Can it pump diesel fuel?
Nitrile impeller pumps handle diesel and oils. Never pump gasoline with a pump that is not rated for it.
