GEAR LUBE PUMP
Key Features:
Gear Lube Compatibility: Designed to handle the specific viscosity and flow characteristics of gear lube. Not suitable for pumping other fluids like engine oil or coolant.
Flow Rate: Varies depending on the pump model, but typically ranges from a few ounces per stroke to several gallons per minute. Choose a flow rate that suits your needs and the size of the gearbox you're filling.
Capacity: May come with an internal reservoir or require continuous feeding from a separate container holding the gear lube.
Delivery Mechanism: Options include manual pumps operated by hand, electric pumps powered by the boat's battery, or even air-powered pumps requiring an external air compressor.
Adapters: Some pumps include adapters for various gear case fill ports, ensuring a secure connection and preventing leaks.
Compatible Replacement Parts:
O-rings: These seals create a tight seal between the pump components and prevent leaks.
Diaphragms: These flexible membranes are used in some pump designs to move the gear lube.
Check valves: These one-way valves allow gear lube to flow in one direction but prevent it from backflowing.
Adapters: As mentioned earlier, adapters can be specific to different gear case fill ports.
