The Jabsco 2551-0000 is a genuine Jabsco half-thickness cam kit for Jabsco flexible (rubber) impeller pumps that use a half cam. The cam is the curved insert inside the pump body that flexes the impeller blades, pushing liquid toward the discharge port with every revolution.
When a cam wears, corrodes or leaks at its screw, the pump loses pressure and may weep from the body. Installing a new cam during a rebuild restores the internal profile the impeller needs. The matching half-cam gasket, part 2553-0000, is also available for pumps that use it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a half-thickness cam?
It is a narrower cam used in pumps where the design calls for a thinner cam, often with a matching gasket.
Q: How do I remove the old cam?
Remove the cam screw from outside the body, clean away old sealant and tap the cam out carefully.
Q: Do I need sealant on the cam screw?
Follow the pump manual. A thread sealant is often used to prevent leaks around the cam screw.
Q: How can I confirm this kit fits my pump?
Match your pump model from its plate to the parts list or send us a photo for confirmation.
