Jabsco 9700-04 Bronze Engine Cooling Pump for Perkins 6.354 2/3 Cam
The Jabsco 9700-04 is a bronze, self-priming flexible impeller pump designed to keep diesel engines running at the right operating temperature. Built with 1-inch flanged inlet and outlet ports, it's engineered to fit directly onto Perkins 6.354 and 6.354M engines that use the 2/3 cam configuration, making it a straightforward replacement for anyone rebuilding or upgrading an aging cooling system.
What sets this pump apart is its rugged simplicity. The flexible impeller design pulls water through smoothly and consistently, without the pulsation issues that can plague other pump styles, so sensitive cooling circuits stay protected. Because it's self-priming, it doesn't need to be constantly flooded to work, which makes installation and startup a lot less fussy for anyone doing the work themselves.
While it's most commonly found on marine engines, this pump isn't limited to boats. Its bronze construction and flanged mounting make it just as suitable for industrial, agricultural, or stationary diesel setups that use the same Perkins 6.354 engine platform, wherever dependable raw water or coolant circulation is needed.

FAQs
Q: What engines is the Jabsco 9700-04 pump designed for?
A: It's built specifically for Perkins 6.354 and 6.354M diesel engines that use the 2/3 cam configuration.
Q: Is the Jabsco 9700-04 only used in marine applications?
A: No. While it's popular in marine cooling systems, its bronze construction and flanged design also make it suitable for industrial and stationary diesel engine setups using the same Perkins platform.
Q: What impeller should I use with this pump?
A: The recommended replacement is the neoprene impeller kit, part number 17937-0001-P, which is designed to match the 9700-04's housing.
Q: Does the Jabsco 9700-04 need priming before use?
A: No. It's a self-priming pump, so it doesn't require manual priming to begin moving water once installed correctly.
Q: How is the Jabsco 9700-04 different from the 9700-01?
