Jabsco 18023-0000 Pump Shaft
The Jabsco 18023-0000 is a genuine replacement pump shaft for Jabsco flexible impeller pumps. The shaft carries the impeller at the pump end, runs in the pump bearings, passes through the shaft seal and takes the drive from the motor, pulley or coupling at the other end, so its size and finish have to be exact for the seal to hold and the bearings to run true. It is listed for Jabsco 15170 series bulkhead mounted stainless steel pedestal pumps, including 15170-0015 and 15170-7365.
Shafts are usually replaced for one of three reasons: the seal has worn a groove where it runs so a new seal will not stop the drip, the impeller drive or keyway is worn so the impeller slips, or the shaft has been bent by a belt that was overtightened or a hard knock. When a shaft is replaced it is good practice to fit new bearings, a new shaft seal and a new impeller at the same time, since all of them wear together and the pump has to come apart to fit any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I check a shaft for straightness?
Roll it on a flat surface or support it between centers and turn it against a dial indicator. Any wobble you can see means it should be replaced.
Q: Can I use a shaft from a similar pump?
Only the listed part number is correct. Length, diameter, drive end and impeller drive all vary between models that look alike.
Q: What bends a pump shaft?
Most often a drive belt that is too tight, or a pulley or coupling driven on with a hammer instead of pressed on.
Q: Why does a new seal keep leaking on my old shaft?
Lip and face seals wear a track into the shaft where they run. Once the surface is grooved, a new seal cannot grip it, and only a new shaft stops the leak.
