Jabsco pump pressure

[adamsjstt]

Does anyone no what kind of pressure a jabsco impellar pump produces? I would like to install a Y in the output line and attach a garden hose connection so I can pump water to shore for things like a slip n slid. Any ideas?

The manual for a ballast puppy includes a head-flow table that includes pressure. Link to manual

Will this be a pump thats already installed in the boat as a ballast pump? If you are buying a pump just for this purpose, then skip the ignition-protected Ballast Puppy and go with a cheaper non ignition protected fluid transfer pump.

I would stay with an impeller style pump though. They loose less pressure p/ft of hose as compared to a live-well style. Pumping up on shore for a slide could be a bit of distance.

I was thinking about using a existing pump that was used for ballast just add a Y and shutoff valve, since the pump would already be installed. Maybe I will look at a dedicated pump just for pumping water to shore I was just tryn to make it simply and help justify the cost of jabsco pumps.

I should of thought to check the manual

In that case, the rock on with yur bad self. You've got the pump, its wired and plumbed to a source. Instead of a Y and shut-off, I would look into a 3-way diverter. They can even be cable actuated remotely. This would allow you to switch between slipnslid and ballast sac with using two valves and having to reach into a compartment to switch things.

I could see having an extra water line on boat being useful, or at least fun, in a few other cases too.....
