Deck wash cuts out
Submitted by jng on Fri, 2015-09-18 05:52
hey guys
as as the title says, my jabsco hotshot 6.0 has been playing up lately. It will run for couple of minutes and then cut out, I'll let it rest for a few minutes and then it will start again. Is there an internal overload on these motor/pumps?
Anyone had had a similar issue? I've tested the pressure switch and it tested fine.
Cheers justin

Im on my third
In five years I have had 3 deckwash pumps.Two jabsco and now on a Johnson,they all started to go like your is wont be long before it just trips all the time. Start looking for a new one is my advise
There are two types of people ,do'ers and watchers
Right now the do'ers are the doing it
And the watchers are watching us do it

If your mechanically minded
If your mechanically minded and know a bit about auto electrics most of the time there is a internal switch which is operated by the diaphram, like a small limit switch with a S/S arm. if you pull the front off the pump you will see the switch, go to a place like jaycar and the swithes are around $3. change it and away you go. I have never brought a new pump. The switch has always been the problem

Check for a sticky brush or possibly worn out?
Not hard to either lightly sand or find a replacement carbon brush.
