Boat Pumps & Water Systems

Every pump on the boat and the system around it. Freshwater pumps and accumulator tanks, bilge pumps with automatic float switches, shower and sump pumps, impeller kits for engine cooling, water tanks and purification, sink taps and shower fittings - and behind all of it the service kits, diaphragms and valves from Jabsco, Whale and Vetus that make a tired pump work like a new one for a fraction of the price.

Pumps are the most serviceable things on a boat and the most often replaced unnecessarily. A pump that has lost pressure, primes badly or runs on usually needs a diaphragm, a set of valves or a cleaned inlet strainer rather than a new unit. Keep a service kit for each pump type aboard, fit a strainer on every inlet, and test the bilge pump and its float switch at the start of every season - it is the one pump you will need when you have no time to fix it.
