Description
Overview
Neoprene Flexible Impeller 4568-0001 provides reliable marine cooling and water transfer performance in demanding environments. It uses a Profile K configuration with 12 flexible blades and a key-driven brass hub for a firm, positive fit. This impeller is commonly used as a replacement in many Jabsco-style flexible-impeller pump applications where this profile and size are specified. Argomarine references this model under part ID J53-508 for easy sourcing.

Compatibility and Fitment
This impeller fits pumps designed for the Profile K series using a 57 mm diameter, 32 mm width and 16 mm key-drive shaft. It replaces worn rotors in many raw-water and transfer pumps, including common Jabsco-style pump applications that specify 4568-0001 and this profile. Before fitting, always compare key measurements with your existing impeller. Additionally, lubricate lightly with water-based grease to make installation smoother and protect the blades. Because correct alignment prevents premature wear, ensure the hub engages fully before sealing the cover.
Compliance and Safety
Use this impeller only for seawater or freshwater circulation. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants since they degrade neoprene. Before service, isolate power and close all seacocks to reduce spillage. After fitting, inspect the gasket and confirm screw torque evenly across the pump cover. If you notice vibration or noise, stop operation immediately and re-check alignment. Proper maintenance keeps the system efficient and prevents costly downtime.
Marine Applications
Neoprene Flexible Impeller 4568-0001 serves a variety of onboard systems including raw-water engine cooling, deck wash units and bilge transfer pumps. Because its flexible blades sustain constant contact with the cam housing, it maintains suction even at low speeds. Moreover, the neoprene material balances toughness with elasticity, ensuring long service life under continuous use. Therefore, it remains a trusted choice among professional marine technicians and OEM installers.
