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: ire 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. or full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC
and ISO regulations for marine applications and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.

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 ounting Instructions
• To remove pump body, place hand over body, depress
locking tabs (eyes) and lift body from strainer base ( igure
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
For optimal performance: The 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.
