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 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 figure 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.
