Jabsco 17956-0001-P Neoprene Impeller Kit, 10 Blade
The Jabsco 17956-0001-P is a genuine Jabsco flexible impeller kit with a neoprene impeller. It has 10 blades, a 2-9/16 in diameter and a 2 in width, with a 5/8 in ding drive, brass insert. As it turns inside the offset pump body, the blades bend and straighten, drawing liquid in and pushing it out, which is what makes a flexible impeller pump self-priming. It is listed for Jabsco 6050 series bronze utility pumps with neoprene impellers.
Neoprene is the general purpose compound for water, raw water cooling and mildly abrasive liquids. Impellers are wear parts. Replace one when blades are cracked, torn or have taken a permanent set in the curved position, when the pump is slow to prime, or after it has run dry even briefly. Lubricate the new impeller with a little water pump grease before fitting it, and fit a new end cover gasket or O-ring at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What causes blades to break off?
Running dry is the main cause. Broken pieces can travel downstream and block coolers or strainers, so find every piece.
Q: Should I grease the new impeller?
Yes, a light coat of water pump grease on the blades and hub helps it survive the first dry seconds before liquid arrives.
Q: Can I change impeller compound?
Yes, where the same impeller is offered in another compound for your pump. Choose the compound for the liquid being pumped.
Q: Why is my new impeller hard to fit?
The blades need to fold the right way. A little grease on the blades and turning the shaft in the running direction as you push helps.
