Description
Overview
The Neoprene 65×51 Key-Drive Impeller 13554-0001 offers efficient cooling performance for marine engine water pumps. Designed to suit systems using a 65 mm outer diameter and 51 mm depth impeller, this J53-555 model provides reliable flow in raw-water and auxiliary circulation applications. It is commonly used as a replacement in many Jabsco-style flexible-impeller pump applications that match these dimensions and key-drive hub.
Features
- Neoprene rubber blades that handle seawater, freshwater, or coolant with excellent flexibility
- 12-blade geometry that maintains steady flow and resists cavitation
- Key-drive hub ensuring positive torque transfer with low wear
- Brass insert engineered for strength and long service life

Compatibility and Fitment
This impeller replaces 13554-0001 and Argomarine Part No. J53-555. It fits many engine cooling and bilge transfer pumps using a 65 mm OD and 51 mm wide impeller. Always confirm the shaft diameter, hub key type, and housing depth before installation. Because this model suits standard key-drive shafts, it can interchange with several common marine pump assemblies of similar dimensions, including many Jabsco-style pump applications that specify this size and hub type.
Compliance and Safety
Installers should follow pump manufacturer maintenance guidelines to extend impeller life. Replace the impeller annually or whenever blades show cracks or permanent deformation. Apply impeller lubricant before fitting and rotate the shaft manually to seat blades evenly. Avoid dry running, as it can overheat the neoprene and damage the housing.
Marine Applications
The Neoprene 65×51 Key-Drive Impeller 13554-0001 is ideal for inboard engine raw-water pumps, generator cooling systems, and auxiliary transfer circuits. Because neoprene remains flexible across temperature changes, it suits both saltwater and freshwater environments. Moreover, the 12-blade design helps maintain consistent water pressure even at variable engine speeds.
