Jabsco Lite Flush 58500-0012 12V wiring diagram
12 V foot-switch electric toilet with raw-water rinse pump and flush motor. Manufacturer wiring value is 20 A with a 25 A fuse. Requires seacocks and vented-loop arrangements matched to the waterline. The DC pair represents the supplied toilet control assembly, not individual motor wiring. Terminal limits use the specified protection as a planning bound.

Sized against ABYC E-11. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The length is one way; voltage drop includes an equal-length return.
Run-length and manufacturer assumptions
The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.

Supporting parts
- 20 ft total of 8 AWG (10 mm²) marine cable
- Terminations for 8 AWG cable, matched to the equipment's screw terminals, leads or studs
- 25 A fuse and holder on the positive run
- Heat-shrink, strain relief and terminal boots sized to the cable
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

Identify the foot-switch version
58500-0012 is the 12 V Lite Flush with a foot switch. The first press introduces rinse water; the second completes the flush sequence and leaves the bowl dry. The separate 58500-1012 version uses a control panel. This entry describes the complete toilet assembly and raw-water rinse pump, rather than a bare 240 W motor.
Connect the toilet's control assembly
The manual's 12 V wiring table gives 20 A draw and a 25 A fuse. Feed the control box through an accessible isolating switch, with red positive and black negative. Size conductors using the full battery-to-toilet-and-return length in that table. The catalog terminals represent that incoming supply, with protection-based planning limits.
Keep the factory harness relationships intact: rinse-pump outputs, flush motor and foot-switch connectors are not interchangeable battery feeds. The control-panel socket is not the foot-switch socket. Do not bypass the control sequence by supplying a motor directly, and do not increase the fuse to cure a jammed pump.
Solve the waterline arrangement first
The rinse pump is for raw water; this manual does not authorize connecting the assembly directly to pressurized fresh water. Use the specified inlet and discharge sizes and accessible seacocks. Follow the appropriate drawing for the rim's position relative to the waterline at every expected heel and trim angle.
Where required, the inlet-side vented loop belongs between the rinse pump and the bowl, not in the pump's suction line. A misplaced loop can stop priming while leaving the flooding risk unresolved. Secure hoses and supports, retain access to the pump, and check the particular outlet path to a holding tank or other permitted system. A two-wire electrical example cannot certify the toilet's plumbing.
First operation and routine checks
Open the necessary seacocks for operation. Fill the bowl before use and confirm both stages of the foot-switch sequence, observing inlet flow, evacuation and leaks. Close the inlet and outlet seacocks after use and when the vessel is unattended, as the manual directs. Isolate electricity and close seacocks before opening the assembly; keep fingers clear of the pump impeller.
A weak rinse calls for checking the intake, seacock, air leaks and pump supply. A motor that runs but cannot evacuate calls for inspection of the discharge path and pump. Use compatible cleaners and winterizing procedures from the manual; aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaning can damage toilet parts.
