I just had a fairly new Jabsco impeller fail today. It separated from the metal core.
It happened at a most inopportune time, in the ICW, really no where to stop and drop the hook. Put the wife on the radio to look out for barges but none came by in the time it took me to problem solve the damn thing.

I believe I read in someone's thread that the same thing happened to them. If I hadn't read that thread I wouldn't have removed the impeller and thoroughly inspected it and saw that the core had separated; all the fins look new however.

The impeller was about 5 months old. This forum is invaluable.

I had it happen three times, twice I got new impellers. The last time I went thru the system and found major blockage at the elbow going into the heat exchanger. There were pieces of old impellers. It's the back pressure which was causing my problem. This was also after talking to Jabsco, asking about defects. I also used an broken one in a pinch. Clean with actone and glued with 5-min epoxy the impeller to the hub. Worked for over an year.

Jabsco did say about 10 years ago there were some issues in manufactoring.

After removing the heat exchanger (later it was replaced) and cleaning, no more issues. Also there are the Globe impellers, which are blue silicone. The watermen love these, they can run dry forever.

Good luck, if you are in the Norfolk area and need parts/help let me know. 757-870-9685.

In another thread I discovered a overheating problem; 186 degrees instead of 180 degrees.... the problem was the exhaust elbow. This is my first year in saltwater and it just about drove me crazy before I found it. I cleaned the elbow out and the engine ran 179/180 immediately however I believe the back pressure is what ruined my impeller.

By the way,,,,, I want to try out the "run dry" Globe impellers in the future. Do you have a website and cross referenced item/part number for the jabsco 5616-0001 ?

I'm in Gulf Shores, Alabama

Jabsco Impeller 5616-0001 cross refeences to Globe Impeller 032SS. It looks like Globe stop making them.

After a long search, did I find one guy who still has them. I called and he verified they have them. Don't forget the gasket Jabsco part 2995-000, less than $3 (not supplied with impeller).

Here's a website that talks about their benefits.

Here's a break down of our pump.

Many thanks for the links. The pump is only a year old and I have plenty of seals.

How did the Globe Impeller 032SS work for you?

Does anyone have any experience with the Globe Impeller? It looks like the website still has them in stock. I was going to give them a call to make sure.

I used the Globe on my W40 and it worked fine in the water for the season, the problem I had was in trying to winterize it out of the water by putting antifreeze into the water filter - it would not suck the fluid. I switched to regular impeller and it worked fine. So either I have a bit more back pressure in the system or the Globes are a bit more flexible? I think the latter. I keep them as spares however.
