My two water pump rebuilds, for a KLC and sherwood 4 chamber for 283, came to a halt when it seemed imposible to identify a 6201 bearing with a 1/2 inch I.D. which is needed for these pumps. This mystery was solved by accident when my generator was repaired by S&N Auto Electric here in Sacramento. T...

There is a Jabsco service kit on Ebay for 10.00 plus shipping Number 90133-0001. The seller may be able to tell you if it fits your pump.

Secondly, is there a source for a Jabsco 3380 impeller pump?
All suggestions appreciated
