Jabsco 18753-0385 FKM Lip Seal
The Jabsco 18753-0385 is a genuine Jabsco FKM lip seal that seals the pump shaft. It is listed for the FKM impeller versions of the Jabsco 18610 series bronze utility pumps.
Lip seals ride on the turning shaft to keep liquid in and dirt or water out of the bearings. A worn lip lets water reach the bearings, which then fail quickly. Replace lip seals whenever the pump is rebuilt, fit them facing the right way, and check the shaft surface where the lip runs for wear grooves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does a new seal leak?
A worn groove on the shaft where the old lip ran is the usual cause.
Q: Should I lubricate the lip?
Yes, a light film of compatible grease helps it seat without damage.
Q: Can I reuse the old seal?
No. Removing a lip seal usually damages it.
Q: Which way does the lip face?
The lip normally faces the liquid it is holding back. Note the direction of the old seal before removing it.
