Jabsco head pump 37245 service kit NOT correct

Ian

An FYI, the shaft seal on my head pump had a drip and per manual may need replacement every few years. Research found this:

Jabsco Service Kit (37045/245) 90197-0000, Service Kit (37045/245), https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007I8YFH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_1zZnFbGVQ23B2

Kit came and genuine Jabsco kit but first thing I see is 4 washers (see pic at link - there are 2 shown) and thought okay, they give you 4. Then the seal itself shaft hole is not round but keyed (again, not like pic) so it’s of no use. Checked with my mechanic and he’d have ordered the same kit.

I will make some calls to Jabsco when I can to find out if I can get the actual part 1040-0000. I did find one to fit based on micrometer measurements of existing seal and shaft from an industrial engineering company near me. SKF unit in attached pic did the trick.



Just a heads up guys (no pun intended)

Hey Ian, I must say I installed this kit this spring and it worked like a champ. Got rid of the drip from the pump O-ring and the water backing backup into the bowl. Maybe they sent the wrong kit? Did you check the you tube videos from Jabsco? Very informative. They walk you through step by step.

I got the kit according to the right part number above but as I mentioned, the contents didn’t match the picture and the seal was definitely the wrong one.
