INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing this Whale® product. For over 60 years Whale® has led the way in the

design and manufacturer of freshwater and waste systems including:- plumbing, faucets, showers

and pumps for low voltage applications.

* Flow rates are stated in accordance with ABYC recommendations at a voltage of 13.6 V d.c.

The Orca submersible electric bilge pump range is designed for use as a bilge pump on marine

vessels. These high capacity pumps are compact and powerful, designed for bilge water evacuation.

Read the following instructions carefully before installing and using the equipment.

Check that the product is suitable for the intended application, follow these installation instructions

and ensure all relevant personnel read the points listed below. Also ensure that these operating

instructions are passed on to the end user.

This Whale Orca Electric Bilge Pump is designed for use as a bilge pump in marine vessels to pump

bilge water only.

1. This pump outlet must be mounted at least 305mm (12”) above the water

line when connected to an intake located below the water line.

2. Not suitable for pumping flammable liquids, diesel, chemicals etc. For use

in a bilge system only.

3. This pump is designed to exhaust standing water only. These pumps are not intended

for damage control. Bilge pump capacities may not be sufficient to prevent flooding

from rapid accumulation of water due to storms, rough weather and/ or rapid leaks

created by hull damaged and or unsafe navigational conditions.

4. With all applications, it is important that a system of safe working practice is applied to

installation, use and maintenance. Ensure the electric supply is turned off.

5. In order to securely fasten this unit, ensure that the mounting surface is a minimum

ENG

thickness of 19mm (3/4”). Do NOT screw directly onto the hull, it must be mounted to

a bulkhead or on an additional board.

1 x Orca Pump 1 x Screw Kit

BE9003 / BE9006 - Electric Field Sensor Switch (Available separately)

WARNING: Please note that incorrect installation may invalidate the warranty.

Preparation - Always disconnect power sources before installing.

9.1 Location

• Position pump in the lowest accessible

part of the bilge. On sailboats, location

should be centred over keel (Fig 1).

•Do not mount the pump directly onto

the hull. The base strainer must be

mounted to a bulkhead or an additional

board at least 19mm (3/4”) thick.

9.2 Mounting Instructions

Before drilling, ensure that the mounted pump will be correctly positioned with the pump nozzle

pointing towards thru-hull connector.

To remove pump body, place hand over body, depress locking tabs and lift body from strainer base.

Note: Motor will be removed with body (see figure 2 and 3).

For Orca 500, 950, 1300 and 2000

• Use base as template to mark 3 mounting holes for Orca in

mounting pad.

• Remove base. Drill three 1/8" (3mm) pilot holes for Orca at

marked locations.

• Replace base. Attach with #8 stainless steel fasteners

(supplied).

• Re-attach pump body to base. Insert body into strainer

base, until base tabs snap into holes in body (see figures 2

and 3).

For Orca 3000

• Use base as template to mark 4 mounting holes for Orca

3000 in mounting pad.

• Remove base. Drill four 1/8" (3mm) pilot holes for Orca

3000 at marked locations.

• Replace base. Attach with #8 stainless steel fasteners

(supplied).

• Re-attach pump body to base. Insert body into strainer

base, until base tabs snap into holes in body (see figure 3).

9.3 Plumbing

IMPORTANT: To prevent airlock, hose must rise continually upward to the thru-hull connector with

no dips or sharp bends. Hose support clips should be used at regular intervals where necessary.

• Orientate the pump outlet for a direct path to the hull connector ensuring an

unobstructed hose path.

• Secure all connections with hose clamps.

• If no thru-hull connector exists, install at 12" (305mm) minimum height above water

line. Apply marine sealant around thru-hull flanges on interior and exterior of hull.

9.4 Electrical Wiring

Ensure all wire connections are at the highest level above water. Use marine grade wire connectors

only and 16 AWG tinned copper wire. Waterproof all connections with suitable materials (see figures

4 and 5).

• Connect positive (+) brown wire (500, 950 and 1300) or red wire (2000 and 3000) to

switch. For automatic operation, use an Automatic Float Switch (Whale BE9003).

• Connect negative (-) black wire to ground.

• Install fuse holder within 72" (183cm) of the positive (+) battery terminal.

• To test system, feed water into the pump. If flow rate appears low, make sure wires are

connected properly:

Brown or Red to switch Black to negative (battery)

WARNING: Reversed wiring reduces performance and can cause pump failure.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and include

a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker. Improper wiring can cause a fire resulting in injury or death.

NOTE Switch off the power prior to making connections. Suggested wiring information is given as a

guide only. For full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC and ISO regulations for marine applications

and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.

This Orca is designed only to require minimal maintenance.

WARNING - Before servicing, disconnect power to the pump and drain system.

Optimal performance

• Regularly remove motor housing and inspect and clean the filter to be sure that it is not

being blocked by debris.

Annual Checks

• Whale advise that the boat’s plumbing system should be checked at least annually for

leaks and obstructions. Also a pump electrics test is advisable. If you are not familiar

with applicable electrical standards, ensure that the electric test is completed by a

qualified electrician/ technician

NOTE - Fully drain the system for winterizing

Whale do not guarantee warranty if the system is not fully drained for winterizing.
