Jabsco 18653-0001-P Neoprene Impeller Kit, 10 Blade
The Jabsco 18653-0001-P is a genuine Jabsco flexible impeller kit with a neoprene impeller. It has 10 blades, a 2 in diameter and a 7/8 in width, with a 15/32 in slotted shaft, pin 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. Jabsco uses this impeller on specific pump models only, so match the part number against the parts list for the model on your pump plate before ordering.
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: 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.
Q: Which way should the blades bend?
They bend back against the direction of rotation as the impeller is pushed into the body. Turning the shaft in the running direction while pushing makes this easy.
