Compatibility and Fitment
This impeller replaces Jabsco 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.
Compliance and Safety
Installers should follow Jabsco’s 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 Jabsco 13554-0001 Neoprene 65×51 Key-Drive Impeller 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.
