Jabsco 18660-0121 12V Water Puppy Pump, 6 GPM Bronze Bilge and Livewell Pump

The Jabsco 18660-0121 is a heavy duty commercial 12-volt Water Puppy pump built for continuous marine pumping tasks. It uses a flexible impeller design that makes it well suited for livewell circulation, draining bait tanks, engine oil changing, washdown, bilge duty, or general purpose pumping wherever a compact, self-priming pump is needed. The pump head is bronze and the impeller is an oil-resistant nitrile compound, giving the unit a long service life in wet marine environments and around fuels and oils.

This is a self-priming pump that delivers high pressure at a 6 GPM flow rate. Because of its self-priming capability, it can be mounted up to 3 feet above the water source and installed in any orientation. Installation is straightforward: the pump fastens to a solid surface with four screws through the rubber mounting grommets molded into its base, and plumbing connects through one of three alternative port configurations before the motor lead wires are wired to a 12-volt DC power source. The pump is ignition protected, making it appropriate for use in gasoline engine spaces.
