Pumps, Impellers & Spares

Marine pumps are the workhorses of every vessel's onboard systems, circulating cooling water through the engine, removing water from the bilge, pressurising deck wash systems, and transferring fuel and fluids. The raw water pump impeller is one of the most critical service items on any marine engine — a failed impeller can lead to rapid engine overheating and serious damage. Keeping pumps in good condition and carrying spare impellers onboard is a fundamental part of responsible vessel ownership.

Luxfords stocks a wide range of marine pumps and replacement impellers from Vetus and other leading manufacturers. The range includes engine cooling water pumps, electric and manual bilge pumps, deck wash pumps, freshwater transfer pumps, and fuel transfer pumps. Luxfords maintains a comprehensive inventory of replacement impellers covering most popular marine engine brands including Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Cummins, Mercruiser, Perkins, John Deere, and many more. Pump service kits, mechanical seals, wear plates, and other spare parts are also available for common pump models.

Choosing the correct impeller or pump requires matching the part to the engine or system specifications. Luxfords can cross-reference impellers by engine make and model, or by the original pump manufacturer's part number. For bilge and deck wash pump selection, factors such as flow rate, head height, and power supply determine the most suitable unit. The Luxfords team provides expert advice on pump and impeller selection, and recommends carrying critical spares onboard for extended cruising.
