Pump Retrofit Base implemented using Jabsco Marine Toilet components. Footprint and hose connection locations are unchanged. Junctions at the front are for optional draining before fully removing the pump.

A single 8mm bolt molded into the pump module base secures the module. Built-in ratchet handle rotates a nut to secure or release the pump module. Direction is reversed by twisting the handle. Ratchet can be easily removed for servicing and can be fitted to the other side when the pump is to the left from the bowl.

Pump module includes all valves and moving parts in a throw-away package.

The model is using a standard Jabsco pump upper part but the manufactured product can be made from fewer parts as it won’t need to be taken apart.

The Retrofit base and the bowl base can be moulded as a single piece.

Adaptable to other brands.
