Sea water pump SP49-1 – code: FP0030105 – Fischer Panda

Fischer Panda sea water pump SP49-1 (FP0030105)

The Fischer Panda sea water pump SP49-1 (code FP0030105) is a pump with self-priming flexible impeller, used for the suction and circulation of’raw water in the generator cooling circuit. It is a component functional to the correct management of the cooling flow in marine generator sets, especially when the installation requires a compact solution consistent with the layouts of the Fischer Panda soundproof compartments.

This model is engineered based on an industrial pump Johnson Pump series F4B-9 (manufacturer reference 10-24967-02), with customizations and hydraulic finishes designed for integration on Fischer Panda generators.

Features and construction details

Below are the main identifying and construction elements useful for recognizing the spare part and assessing its suitability during maintenance or replacement.

OEM base and project reference

• Pump block manufacturer (OEM): Johnson Pump (SPX FLOW Group), series F4B-9
• Manufacturer reference: 10-24967-02
• Fischer Panda spare part code: FP0030105

Materials

• Pump body: high-strength marine bronze casting
• Guide shaft: stainless steel (salt corrosion resistant)

Installation and drive

• Type of installation: direct flange coupling on the motor (Flange Mount)
• Drive type: shaft with slot/key (Slotted Shaft Pin Drive)

Hydraulic connections and internal geometry

• In/Out connections: smooth hose terminals of 19 mm (3/4")
• Internal geometry: full cam (Full Cam) with lip seal (Lip Seal)

Compatible replacement impeller

For routine maintenance, the pump uses Neoprene/MC97 impeller kits identified by the following codes:

• 08-810B-1
• 09-810B-1

Applications and compatibility

The SP49-1 pump (FP0030105) is used on Fischer Panda marine generator sets based on medium displacement Kubota engine blocks. It is commonly found on:

• Fixed speed PMS models: Panda 6000 ND, 8000 NE, 9000 ND, 12000 NE and 14000 NE.
• iSeries variable speed models: specific Panda configurations 8000i, 10000i, 15000i and 19000i.

In the nautical field, correct identification of the spare part is particularly important because the seawater pump is often integrated into technical spaces with limited accessibility and with piping and bracket configurations defined by the generator manufacturer.

Advantages for maintenance and spare parts

In a context of technical spare parts for onboard systems, this pump offers a number of practical aspects related to its configuration and the availability of clear references for identification.

• Identifiable spare part: the presence of the Fischer Panda code FP0030105 and the Johnson Pump reference F4B-9 helps reduce ambiguities during ordering.
• Configuration consistent with the original installation: direct flanging and plug-in drive allow maintaining the setting provided by the generator manufacturer.
• Materials suitable for the marine environment: marine bronze body and stainless steel shaft are typical choices for components in contact with raw water.
• Programmable maintenance: the availability of impeller kit dedicated (codes 08-810B-1 / 09-810B-1) facilitates the management of wear parts.

Usage, notes, and operational recommendations

The seawater pump is a wear component, particularly regarding the impeller and seals. During intervention, it is good practice to operate with a “conservative” approach, checking the condition of the components and restoring the original system setup.

Useful checks before replacement

• Code verification: compare the spare part with the code FP0030105 and, if available, with the Johnson Pump reference F4B-9 / 10-24967-02.
• Connection check: make sure the pipes are consistent with the hose holders from 19 mm (3/4").
• Impeller inspection: assess the condition of the impeller and consider using a compatible kit (08-810B-1 o 09-810B-1) in case of maintenance.

Installation notes (generic)

• Restore original configuration: maintain orientation and positioning consistent with the existing installation, especially in soundproof compartments.
• Sealing and tightening: check the proper sealing of connections and the absence of leaks after reassembly.
• Starting and checking: after the intervention, check that the raw water circuit resumes suction and circulation regularly.
