Product Overview
Marine fire protection, deck washdown, and diesel transfer are the stated duties for this Skipper pump configuration. Engineered for proven service in severe coastal and maritime duties.
Hydraulic performance encompasses a maximum shut-off head of 60 m (85 PSI) at zero flow and an open-discharge flow capacity of up to 400 L/min at zero static head. The epoxy-coated aluminium casing houses a bronze closed impeller, bronze volute, ceramic/carbon seal, and zinc anode drain plug. Mass: 45 kg. High-tensile body metallurgy resists outdoor weathering and operational casing wear.
Driven by a fuel-efficient Yanmar L48 (4.8 HP) recoil-start diesel engine. Plumbing features a 2" inlet with 3-way discharge manifold (2 x 1" & 1 x 1.5"), replaceable flanged ports, stainless steel external fasteners, free Geomet couplings, and self-priming lift to 7.6 m. High-torque Yanmar diesel engine drive delivers strong fuel economy and operating endurance on site.
Built with stainless steel external hardware and sacrificial zinc anode protection for long service life on coastal vessels. Technical assembly schematics, user manuals, and replacement component stockists are available nationwide through Aussie Pumps distributor networks. Complete technical assembly schematics and spare parts stockists support ongoing field servicing.
