Have just checked, and thankfully, it is the correct one. Was yours a Jabsco and if so was it clearly marked for voltage? I would expect it to be marked and for the OP to have seen this hence my reluctance to ask the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, i never check when installing them, so probably would be caught out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Bought mine mail order. Said Parmax 2.9 on the box but I never checked the voltage. Just assumed it was correct or more likely did not even consider there was room for error. Lesson learned, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveller Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 2 minutes ago, philjw said: So was it a 24V pump then? It should be marked on the motor. You could also check your order to see what you asked for and they thought they had sent you. Have already answered that, it was indeed 24 volt. I did order a 12 volt.?

WotEver Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 4 hours ago, Traveller said: Spot on. They have sent me a 24v model in error. I never even thought to look, assuming as I did that 24v would not even run. So my scenario 1 (it’s not pumping very well) turned out to be correct, but I’d never have thought of the reason. Well done Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
