Johnson Pump 400 GPH 12V Bilge Pump - Barbed Port

The Johnson Pump 400 GPH 12V Bilge Pump - Barbed Port provides an essential safety layer for vessel owners looking for a compact, submersible water removal solution. For the seasoned boater, managing bilge water is a matter of both vessel maintenance and structural safety, requiring equipment that operates reliably under standard 12V power systems. This unit bridges the gap between cost-effectiveness and the high manufacturing standards required for harsh marine environments.

Performance specifications for this Johnson Pump model indicate a capacity of 30 liters per minute, translating to approximately 475 GPH at 13.6V. This flow rate ensures that nuisance water from rain or minor hull spray is cleared efficiently before it can impact the vessel's center of gravity. The compact 4 x 4 x 5-inch footprint allows for installation in narrow bilge wells where larger pumps cannot fit, making it an ideal choice for skiffs, jon boats, or as a secondary emergency backup.

Featuring a barbed port for secure hose connections, the Johnson Pump 400 GPH 12V Bilge Pump - Barbed Port is designed for straightforward integration into existing marine plumbing. Its submersible housing protects the motor from the corrosive effects of standing bilge water, a critical factor for longevity in both freshwater and saltwater applications. Choosing a reputable brand ensures that even entry-level components meet the rigors of frequent use on the water.

At a weight of only 0.7 lbs, this pump minimizes added weight while maximizing utility on small craft. Whether you are looking to buy a replacement or upgrading a manual system, the JP-21405 model offers a balance of price and durability. This bilge pump is an excellent option for those conducting a review of their current safety gear and looking for a reliable, low-maintenance solution for automatic or manual water management.
