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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-30006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ballast Impeller Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 4 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282388348\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-30006 Ballast Impeller Kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a replacement impeller kit for a boat's ballast pump, supplying the impeller and related components needed to service the pump when it stops moving water efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra Ballast Impeller Kit 18-30006 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.6 pounds, making it a lightweight, easy-to-store spare part to keep on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of part number 18-30006?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra Ballast Impeller Kit ships in a package measuring 4 x 4 x 2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 18-30006 a genuine Sierra part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 18-30006 is the Sierra manufacturer part number for this Ballast Impeller Kit, so it is a genuine Sierra product rather than a generic substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I identify the correct impeller kit for my ballast pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e Match the part number on your existing ballast pump impeller kit to 18-30006 before ordering, since impeller kits are pump-specific and the wrong kit will not fit correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the box with the 18-30006 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-30006 kit is sold as a Ballast Impeller Kit, providing the impeller components needed for a ballast pump service in one package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I find the UPC for this Sierra impeller kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra Ballast Impeller Kit 18-30006 carries UPC 808282388348.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does a ballast pump impeller need to be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e Over time an impeller's flexible vanes wear down and lose their seal, reducing the pump's ability to fill or empty ballast tanks efficiently, which is when a kit like the Sierra 18-30006 is used to restore performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I replace the impeller before it fails completely?\u003c\/strong\u003e Proactively replacing a worn impeller with the Sierra 18-30006 kit helps avoid a situation where a disintegrated impeller sheds pieces into the pump housing and plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-30006 kit compact enough to carry as a spare?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 0.6 pounds and packaged in a 4 x 4 x 2 inch box, the Sierra Ballast Impeller Kit is compact enough to keep on board as a spare part.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988136112347,"sku":"SIE-18-30006","price":17.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-30006__53662.1739477160.500.750.jpg?v=1785188304","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-30006-ballast-impeller-kit-for-marine-ballast-pumps","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
