Installation Guide

IMPORTANT: Before starting, confirm your sea water pump is a model 48080/048080 or 37431/037431 manufactured after March 2004. These pumps have a round, 6-bolt cover. This kit is NOT compatible with older pump model 33636, which has a scalloped cover.

  1. Turn off the engine and close the sea cock (water intake valve) to prevent water from entering the vessel.
  2. Locate the sea water pump on the engine.
  3. Unscrew the 6 bolts on the pump cover plate.
  4. Carefully pry off the cover. Note that some water may spill out.
  5. Use pliers to grip the hub of the old impeller and pull it straight out.
  6. Clean the inside of the pump housing and the cover plate, removing any old gasket material or debris.
  7. Lightly lubricate the new impeller and the inside of the pump housing with a suitable marine lubricant.
  8. Install the new impeller by pushing it into the housing while turning it in the direction of engine rotation. Ensure the blades are correctly oriented.
  9. Place the new O-ring into the groove on the pump body.
  10. Reinstall the cover plate and tighten the screws in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
  11. Open the sea cock.
  12. Start the engine and immediately check for leaks around the pump cover. Confirm water is exiting the exhaust, indicating proper pump operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my pump?
A: This impeller kit is specifically for Westerbeke sea water pumps 48080/048080 and 37431/037431 made after March 2004. The easiest way to identify a compatible pump is by its cover: it must be the new style round cover secured by 6 bolts. If your pump cover is scalloped near the 4 and 8 o'clock positions, it is an older, incompatible model (033636), which uses a different impeller kit (Westerbeke 034440).

Q: What are the signs of a failing impeller?
A: Common signs include engine overheating, reduced water flow from the exhaust outlet, and visible cracks or missing blades on the impeller itself. We recommend inspecting the impeller annually.

Q: How often should I replace my engine's impeller?
A: For most applications, it is recommended to replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This can vary based on usage and water conditions (e.g., sandy or debris-filled water may require more frequent changes).

Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty from JLM Marine against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.

Very convenient, worth every penny.
Flavor Name: Spearmint
I LOVE these. A friend gifted me one a while back to try and I finished it, so I had to repurchase because it is that good. It is compact and doesn’t take much space on my countertop, and I can travel with it easily which is a plus. It tastes delicious and I find it really is a game changer when using with my water flosser — I have become much more consistent with flossing because of the floss drops and love that I can habit stack flossing + mouthwash all in one go. If you want something that is not bulky and travel friendly I really recommend this product. My oral health is way better because of it, and I also don't have to rebuy those bulky mouthwash bottles every 2 weeks which is definitely a plus.
