Jabsco 18330-0000 Electro-Magnetic Clutch Pump, 12 VDC, 2-A Pulley, 2 in NPT
The Jabsco 18330-0000 is a bronze electro-magnetic clutch pump with a 12 VDC clutch, a 2-A pulley with two A-section belt grooves and 2 in NPT ports. The pump is belt driven from the engine, and the clutch lets it be switched on and off remotely from the helm or a control panel, so it only turns when water is needed. The pump end is bronze with a flexible impeller and a mechanical shaft seal. It is rated for a maximum flow of about 83 GPM through its 2 in ports.
Clutch pumps are the standard choice for engine driven washdown, fire, bilge and bait well service on work boats and sportfishing boats, because they deliver high flow without a large electric motor and without running all the time. Make sure all suction connections are airtight so the pump can self-prime, and never engage the clutch with the intake seacock closed, since the impeller depends on the liquid for lubrication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wears first?
The impeller, followed by the shaft seal. Keep an impeller kit aboard.
Q: How do I protect it from running dry?
Keep the intake clear, avoid engaging it with the seacock closed, and consider an optional vacuum switch.
Q: Can the clutch be run off a different voltage?
No. The clutch coil is wound for 12 VDC. Match the pump to the vessel electrical system.
Q: What belt does it take?
An A-section V-belt. The 2-A pulley has two grooves so it can be driven with a matched pair of belts.
