Marco Pumps

 

According to Marco, “Real involvement and constant development are the foundation on which the company MARCO has been building its business. MARCO was started in 1970 by Giovanni Marco Franceschini and today has a “state-of-the-art” factory in the field of automotive and marine products. In their plant of over 8,000 square meters, they manufacture electric and air horns for cars, trucks, and boats, as well as electric pumps for the transfer of various liquids.

 

These products are manufactured using the most advanced production equipment, such as spectrum analyzers, vibrating stands, and other sophisticated instrumentation, including an anechoic chamber, for the development and testing of products. Today the use of advanced technology enables MARCO to reach the highest International Quality Standards, allowing the creation of highly competitive products that are exported daily to over 80 countries. Thanks to experience, innovations and trade expansion over the last few years, MARCO is now acknowledged as a leading manufacturer in its own field.

 

This is also due to an expert and versatile organization offering a highly qualified and professional management team geared to the needs of the individual customer. With a pedigree such as this one is assured that a Marco pump is value for the money and will deliver predictable results. Marco pumps are well known for their geared pumps although they manufacture additional pumps such as the rubber impeller type used as a water transfer pump, a submersible pump typically used as a bilge pump as well as vane pumps recommended as diesel transfer pumps. The application range served by the Marco geared pumps as well as the choice of driving power is impressively vast. Not all Marco gear pumps have metal gears. Models with PTFE gears that will resist corrosion or electrolysis and perform well in an application where salt water is stagnant within the housing, such as the 3.7 GPM wash down pump, if it is plumbed for salt water. PTFE gears operate somewhat quieter than metal gears and this makes it an alternative to bellows or piston type fresh water pumps that are used for onboard potable water service or additionally plumbed into the raw water source as a raw water deck shower.

 

Gear drive pumps are effective at transferring viscous liquids and are not direction inhibited making them able to transfer product in either direction and are well suited as a reversible oil pump or a reversible diesel pump. https://www.go2marine.com/UP3-RK-REV-FLOW-PUMP-KIT-12-24V. Marco offers a kit lineup of pump systems. The kits vary with the application and can include hoses, clamps, cables, etc. everything one would require to setup a portable oil change kit. If a faster transfer is required, the Marco pump kit M16602412 offers a decent 11.9 Gallon/minute flow rate.

 

A practical pump offered by Marco is the UP3-RK Diesel transfer pump with an electronic control. This pump has great safety features used in tank balancing or day tank transfer. The pump will automatically shut off on an empty tank, electrical short circuit or after 30 minutes of operation. It also operates bi-directionally. Therefore, if one is in the market for a reliable, quality pump, it is definitely worth the effort to look at what Marco pumps have to offer prior to purchasing any only pump that might just do.
