rapid accumulation of water due to storms, rough weather and/ or rapid leaks created by hull
damage and or unsafe navigational conditions.
•
With all applications, it is important that a system of safe working practice is applied to
installation, use and maintenance. In order to securely fasten the unit, ensure that the
mounting surface is a minimum thickness of 19mm (3/4") (when fitted with the screws
supplied).
•
NOTE Do not screw directly to the hull. This pump must be mounted on a bulkhead or on an
additional board.
•
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. Switch off the power while 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.

9. INSTALLATION
NOTE: Incorrect installation will invalidate warranty
Preparation - Always disconnect power sources before installation.
9.i Location
•
Choose a position to mount the pump that is dry and away from standing water and is free
from obstacles.
•
Mount in a position with the shortest possible pipe run lengths.
9.ii Mounting Instructions
•
To remove pump body, place hand over body, depress
locking tabs (eyes) and lift body from strainer base (Figure
1). NOTE: Motor will be removed with body
•
Use base as template to mark 3 mounting holes in
mounting pad.
•
Drill 1/8" (3mm) pilot holes. NOTE: do not drill through hull;
ensure that the Orca is mounted securely to additional
board or bulkhead.
•
Use 25mm (1") or 28mm (1 1/8") smooth bore reinforced
hose to connect to the strainer with hose clips.
•
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.
9.iii 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" (25mm) minimum height above
water line. Apply marine sealant around
thru-hull flanges on interior and exterior
of hull.
