FAQs

What is the maximum flow rate of this bilge pump?

The pump has a maximum flow rate of 3000 Gallons Per Hour (GPH).

What voltage does this pump operate on?

This pump operates on a 12-volt DC power supply.

How much current does the pump draw?

The pump draws approximately 13 Amperes (A).

What is the diameter of the outlet port?

The outlet port has a diameter of 32mm, which is equivalent to 1-1/4 inches.

Is the pump self-priming?

No, this is a submersible pump and must be fully submerged in water to operate correctly. It is not self-priming.

How often should I clean the strainer?

It is recommended to clean the built-in strainer regularly, ideally before each use or at least monthly, depending on the amount of debris in your bilge.

What are the physical dimensions of the pump?

The pump measures approximately 200mm in height and has a maximum diameter of 130mm (excluding the outlet hose connection).

Troubleshooting

Pump does not turn on

Check the 12v power supply, ensure wiring connections are secure and correctly polarized (red to positive, black to negative). Verify the fuse or circuit breaker is not tripped.

Low water flow or pump cycles on and off

Clean the built-in strainer thoroughly. Check the outlet hose for any obstructions or kinks. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not drawing air.

Pump runs constantly but moves little water

The pump may be air-locked or there may be a significant blockage in the outlet hose or discharge point. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and try clearing any obstructions.

Excessive heat from the motor

Ensure the pump is submerged in water, as water cools the motor. Check for blockages that might be causing the motor to overwork. If the issue persists, there may be an internal motor problem.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely high water-moving capacity for rapid bilge clearing.
  • Designed for reliability with a heavy-duty motor and robust construction.
  • Submersible nature allows for flexible placement.
  • Integrated strainer helps protect the pump from debris.
  • Standard 12v operation is compatible with most marine electrical systems.

Cons

  • High amperage draw (13A) requires adequate wiring and power source.
  • Larger physical dimensions may limit installation in very confined spaces.
  • Performance may be affected by the length and diameter of the outlet hose.
  • Requires regular maintenance of the built-in strainer to ensure optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely mount the pump in the bilge using the integrated base. Ensure it is placed in the lowest point where water collects.
  2. Outlet Hose: Connect a suitable hose (minimum 1-1/4" or 32mm inner diameter) to the pump's outlet port. Route the hose to an appropriate overboard discharge point, ensuring it is free from kinks.
  3. Wiring: Connect the pump's leads to a 12v DC power source. The red wire connects to the positive (+) terminal, and the black wire connects to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure the wiring is appropriately sized for the 13A current draw and protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Designed for 12v DC systems only.
  • Hose Size: Compatible with 32mm (1-1/4") or larger diameter hoses.
  • Environment: Suitable for marine bilge water.

Care:

  • Strainer: Regularly clean the built-in strainer to prevent clogging by debris, sediment, or marine growth. This is crucial for maintaining performance.
  • Operation: Periodically run the pump (with water) to ensure it is functioning correctly. Avoid running the pump dry for extended periods.
  • Connections: Check electrical connections for corrosion and ensure they are secure.
