Product Information
Full details
The Whale Supersub 1100 Bilge Water Pump is designed for boat owners and marine professionals needing a reliable, low-profile bilge pump for tight spaces. Its key benefit is its ability to fit into narrow keels and under sole boards while providing a high flow rate. A potential caveat for some users might be the 12v two-wire connection, requiring basic electrical understanding for installation. This submersible pump offers an open flow of 66 L/min and 47 L/min at a 1m head, featuring a dual-size hose tail and a design that simplifies retrofitting.

Troubleshooting
Pump not running
Verify the 12v power supply is connected correctly (brown wire to positive). Check fuses and circuit breakers. Ensure the battery is charged.
Low water flow or pump cycling frequently
Check the intake for blockages. Ensure the bilge hose is not kinked or restricted. Verify the hose diameter is correct for the pump's capacity. Check for air leaks in the hose connections.
Pump runs continuously but doesn't pump water
The pump may be air-locked or have a severe blockage at the intake or within the impeller housing. Disconnect power, inspect and clear any obstructions. Ensure the pump is fully submerged.
Pump makes noise but does not pump
There may be debris interfering with the impeller. Disconnect power and carefully inspect and clean the impeller area. Ensure the impeller is properly seated.
