The Jabsco 1985-0010 is a genuine Jabsco end cover gasket for Jabsco flexible impeller pumps. On the pumps that use this gasket, the center of the cam lines up with one of the cover screw holes, and this gasket is cut to match that layout. It seals the end cover to the pump body so the impeller can self-prime and pump at full flow.
The gasket is a wear item that should be renewed any time the cover is removed. An old gasket that has taken a set, split or dried out allows air into the pump chamber, causing poor priming and weak flow, and lets liquid weep from the cover edge. A fresh gasket is the easiest way to finish an impeller change properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I need 1985-0010 or 1985-0000?
Look at where the cam sits relative to the cover screw holes and check your pump's parts list. Our team can also confirm from a photo of the pump plate.
Q: Why does my pump lose prime after an impeller change?
A worn or misaligned cover gasket is the most common cause. Air leaking past the cover prevents the impeller from pulling suction.
Q: Do I need to clean the pump face before installing?
Yes. Remove all old gasket material and debris so the new gasket sits flat on both surfaces.
Q: Is it worth keeping spare gaskets aboard?
Yes. They are small and inexpensive, and without one an at-sea impeller change may not seal properly.
