Jabsco pump in Volvo MD7A heat exchanger system

Post by Somers Isle »

Hi, this is my first post on the CD Message Board.
I sail a CD30C #208 in the Mediterranean with the original Volvo MD7A engine and presumably the original Jabsco heat exchanger pump. I need new seals for the Jabsco pump, but I can't find the model number for the pump to order the seals. The pump is ashore for repairs.
I'm anchored in Vliho Bay in Greece and the local mechanic thinks the seals may be only available from the US. He has never seen seals like them on a Jabsco pump before.
Can anyone supply the model number of the Jabsco pump and maybe even the part numbers for the seals.
Thanks.

Thanks to a further search on the site, I located a post by Stan W. providing the model of the Jabsco pump as 2760-0001. Thanks Stan. I've since confirmed this with the Greek mechanic and managed to source the required lip seal for the pump shaft in England and have it on order. Happy Days ! Especially after more than two weeks at anchor here in beautiful Vliho Bay in the Ionian Sea, Greece, trying to source the part.
Great site.
