Jabsco 9970-241 Bronze Flange Pump, Size 040, 3/4" BSP
If you're looking for a dependable pump to keep an engine running cool, the Jabsco 9970-241 is a solid choice. Built with a bronze housing and a stainless steel shaft, it stands up well to saltwater and humid conditions, which is exactly what you want from a pump that spends its life on a boat or in a marine environment. The flange-mounted design makes it straightforward to fit onto a wide range of engines that use this style of pump connection, and the 3/4" BSP threaded port keeps hose fitting simple and leak-resistant.
What makes this pump a practical option is its self-priming flexible impeller design. That means it doesn't need to be manually primed before it starts moving water, which is a real time-saver when you're doing maintenance or swapping out a worn pump. Whether it's handling raw water intake for engine cooling or being used more generally for water transfer and circulation, it's built to run reliably under demanding conditions.
Beyond marine engine cooling, this bronze pump also has a place in general industrial and workshop settings where a compact, corrosion-resistant pump is needed for moving water or other liquids. Its combination of durable materials and simple flange installation makes it a versatile option for anyone who needs a pump that will hold up over the long haul.
