Jabsco Junior Puppy Bilge & Deckwash Pump

The Jabsco 23670 Junior Puppy is a bronze-bodied, self-priming flexible-impeller pump delivering approximately 15 litres per minute. Choose 12V model 23670-4003 or 24V model 23670-4103.

The continuously rated pump is intended for medium-duty bilge, deckwash and general water-transfer applications. Its simple serviceable design uses a nitrile impeller and stainless-steel shaft, and it must be mounted so the pump head is not positioned above the motor.

Match the exact Jabsco model or part number first, then confirm the connection size, voltage, dimensions and application shown in the specification table.

Are installation accessories included?
Only the components listed under “What Is Included?” are supplied. Hose, wiring, fittings, switches and fasteners are excluded unless stated otherwise.
