Features:

• Driven by either a Honda GX160 or a Honda GX200 engine which is specially designed for domestic or infrequent use. The GX200 engine is also available in electric start.
• Patented clamped impeller design to enable longer impeller life, improved performance and easier disassembly in the case of blockage.
• Twin impeller design provides extra strong pressure for longer and higher pumping applications.
• Thrust balanced impeller design to extend engine life.
• Pump casing, diffusers and impellers manufactured from quality corrosion resistant marine grade aluminium for long life.
• Polyester coated pump casing, exterior and interior, for added corrosion resistance.
• Patented floating impeller neckrings front and back. The front neckring helps improve pumping efficiency, the back neckring helps extend seal life and dramatically reduce engine wear.
