Sierra Ballast Impeller Kit 18-30006

The Sierra Ballast Impeller Kit, part number 18-30006, is a replacement impeller kit designed for ballast pump systems on boats. Ballast pumps rely on a flexible impeller to move water into and out of ballast tanks, and this kit provides the components needed to service that pump when the impeller wears out or loses pumping efficiency. Keeping the ballast pump impeller in good condition helps ensure consistent fill and empty cycles for the ballast system, which is important for boat trim and stability. The kit ships as a compact, self-contained unit that is easy to store aboard as a spare part. As with any impeller service, replacing the impeller before it fails helps prevent debris from a disintegrated impeller from circulating through the pump housing and plumbing.
