Jabsco 18620-0003 Reversible 12V Pump with Switch
The Jabsco 18620-0003 is the Jabsco reversible 12 volt pump, a bronze flexible impeller pump with a nitrile impeller, lip seal and 3/4 in garden hose ports, driven by a reversible permanent magnet motor with an integral reversing switch and fuse. It draws about 7 A on a 10 A fuse, delivers about 1.8 GPM at 5 ft of head, and will lift about 3 to 4 ft dry and about 10 ft when primed. The reversing switch lets the same pump fill and empty.
These bronze flexible impeller pumps self-prime, handle small debris and can be mounted in any position, which is why they are used for bilge, washdown, livewell and transfer duty. Keep suction lines airtight so the pump can prime, drain it before freezing weather, and never let it run dry because the impeller depends on the liquid for lubrication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main service part?
The impeller. Keep a spare with the matching compound.
Q: Can it be mounted in any position?
Yes, although mounting with the pump head below the motor keeps any seal leakage away from the motor.
Q: Why will it not self-prime?
Almost always an air leak on the suction side. All suction connections must be airtight.
Q: How long can it run dry?
Only seconds. The impeller relies on the liquid for lubrication.
