Jabsco Hotshot HD6 Washdown Pump

[Trophy 2000]

Had one installed year and a half ago and now dead . Tried to trouble shoot changed fuse etc . Question possibly replacing with the same ,but wondering if others had issues or good success . When it works it is powerful and works great and seems popular choice .

Does it have a filter? Mine was plugged up and appeared dead until I cleaned it.

Yes it does and I checked online when I got home from the marina and that was a possible issue . Going to clean and check tomorrow . Thank you

It doesn’t spin at all? Or does it spin but not shoot any water? I’m on year five with mine and all good.

No power totally dead

Jump it direct to a battery to rule out any problems with wiring and connections. Or check voltage at wherever the first connection is

I just had a jabsco hd4 do the same thing.

Very little use and just died.

Must be chineese ****.

Donald is right.

Could also be the pressure switch that has gone, common thing

Mine failed earlier this year after about 7 years of use. Turned out to be the on off switch - corroded terminals. New switch and working great!

A year and a half is decent service if you ask me. Pretty stabdard for a hot shot if used regularly.
I prefer the surflo washdowns. Seem to get a bit better longevity, but I have the hot shots in a boat too (they are more readily available).

Good info thx ... I used Shurflo in the past and lasted way longer also . First time using this brand

They all crap out eventually,but also depends how the are wired and how your intake is plumbed in, sucking dirty water doesn’t help, keep your strainer as clean as possible ,on my boat I went through hull with a seacok valve and that thing is going on 8 years,also hardwire to the battery switch with 10g wire, also not runing it for long period helps too
