Jabsco HotShot Series Self Priming Washdown Pump

The Jabsco HotShot marine washdown pump range provides pressure-controlled water delivery for deck, anchor, fish-box and general boat cleaning. Choose HotShot 3 for 11 LPM at 50 PSI, HotShot HD4 for 15 LPM at 60 PSI or HotShot HD6 for 23 LPM at 70 PSI, with 12V and 24V options where available.

Each pump is self-priming, can run dry without damage and uses an integrated pressure switch for on-demand operation. The listing combines pump-only washdown packages supplied with the stated strainer, quick-connect fittings and trigger nozzle; a hose coil is not included in these -3A configurations.

What Is a HotShot Washdown Pump Used For?

It supplies pressurised water to a washdown hose or deck outlet for rinsing anchors, decks, cockpits, fish boxes and equipment. It may also support other compatible open-flow water duties when installed within the pump’s pressure, temperature and material limits.

What Is Included?

• One HotShot pump in the selected output and voltage
• Quick-connect inlet strainer
• Model-specific hose-barb fittings and 3/4 in garden-hose adaptor
• Trigger spray nozzle

What Is Not Included?

• Washdown hose or hose coil
• Deck outlet, seacock, intake scoop or through-hull fitting
• Electrical switch, fuse holder, breaker or cable extensions
• Additional plumbing fittings not stated for the selected model

How Do I Select the Correct Model?

Select flow and pressure according to the number of outlets, hose length and cleaning duty. HotShot 3 is the compact 11 LPM / 50 PSI option and is available here in 12V only. HD4 increases delivery to 15 LPM / 60 PSI, while HD6 provides 23 LPM / 70 PSI for high-flow washdown. Then choose the voltage that matches the vessel.

What Is the Difference Between HotShot 3 and the HD Models?

The HD4 and HD6 use heavy-duty coated motors and cast-aluminium lower housings for sustained high-pressure service. They also provide greater flow and pressure than HotShot 3. Electrical current, fuse size, fittings and wiring requirements vary by model.

Installation and Safety

Install the pump in a dry, ventilated location above normal bilge water, close to the water source and with access to the inlet strainer. Use reinforced suction hose, support all pipework and install the manufacturer-specified circuit protection. Do not connect a 12V pump to 24V or vice versa. Where the water source is through the hull, use a correctly installed seacock and observe all vessel safety requirements.

Maintenance

• Inspect and clean the inlet strainer regularly.
• Check quick-connect fittings, hose clips and the trigger nozzle for leakage or restriction.
• Test pressure-switch cycling and investigate rapid cycling, which may indicate leakage or insufficient system volume.
• Protect the pump from freezing and drain it during winterisation.
• Check wiring and terminals for heat, corrosion or voltage drop.

• Heavy-duty motor and lower housing on HD4 and HD6

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this listing include a washdown hose?
No. These -3A pump packages include the pump, stated strainer, fittings and trigger nozzle, but not a hose coil.

Which variant is suitable for a single compact deck shower?
HotShot 3 may be sufficient for lower-flow single-outlet use, but selection must consider required pressure, hose length and outlet restriction. Compare the 11, 15 and 23 LPM options.

Can a 24V model be run from a 12V supply?
No. Choose the variant that matches the vessel’s nominal electrical system.

Why does the installed flow differ from the stated flow?
The published figure is an open-flow rating. Hose length, lift, nozzle restriction, pipe diameter, fittings and supply-voltage loss reduce actual delivery.

Specifications

Open-flow ratings are measured under published conditions. Actual washdown performance will reduce as suction lift, outlet pressure, hose length, restrictions and electrical voltage drop increase.
