Jabsco Fish Box Evacuation Pump, 12V Diaphragm, 5 GPM, 1-1/2 Inch Ports

The Jabsco Fish Box Evacuation Pump is a 12V diaphragm pump built to empty a fishbox or livewell quickly after a day on the water. Fish boxes and livewells often collect bait residue, ice particles, fish scales, and other typical debris, and this pump's diaphragm design is made to pass that debris rather than clog on it. A 360 degree rotatable head lets it be mounted in nearly any position in the boat, giving flexible installation options where space is tight.

This is a self-priming, dry-running pump, meaning it will not be damaged by running without water present, which is common in fish box and livewell drain applications where water levels drop intermittently. No filter is required ahead of the pump, keeping the installation simple and reducing maintenance. It connects using 38mm (1-1/2 inch) ports and moves up to 19 lpm (5 US gpm) of flow, so it is sized to evacuate a fish box or livewell in a reasonable amount of time.

The pump is finished in black plastic and runs on a 12V permanent magnet motor drawing 10A, protected by a 15A fuse. It is built to comply with ISO 8846 MARINE and USCG ignition protection regulations, and it meets BSEN 50081 for electromagnetic compatibility, making it suitable for use around fuel systems and marine electronics.
