Installation
Placement
1. Release the filter by pushing in the locking tabs on both
sides of the pump.
2. Select a suitable location for the pump. It should normally
be placed at the lowest point of the keel.
• Mount the pump so that the outlet hose is not directed downwards when it is
connected. The hose must always point upwards to prevent air pockets.
3. Position the filter in such a way as to ensure that the outlet points the right way
when the pump is mounted onto the filter.
4. Mounting the filter:
• Use stainless steel screws when mounting onto wood.
• When mounting onto metal or fibreglass, first attach a wooden board to the
surface and then mount the filter onto the wooden board.
5. Attach the pump to the filter making sure that the locking tabs engage the pump.
Hose Connections
Outlet hose
• Connect a high pressure hose (internal diam. 32 mm) to the outlet of the pump.
If necessary, secure the hose using a hose clip. The hose must always point
upwards to prevent air pockets. Avoid sharp bends in the hose.
Through-hull fitting
• Select a suitable place for the water to be pumped overboard. This place
should be as close to the pump as possible, but at least 30 cm above the
waterline to prevent water seeping back into the pump when it is turned off.
Wiring
The best way to wire the bilge pump is via a switch or an automatic float switch as
shown in the examples below.
• Connect the brown wire to the positive terminal of the battery (+) via an on/off
switch or float switch. Always connect a 15 A fuse between the battery and the
on/off switch.
• Connect the black wire to the negative terminal of the battery (-).
