This Whale IC Bilge Kit uses Intelligent Control (IC) to automatically turn the Gulper® Bilge Pump on and off as needed to reliably pump out bilge spaces. The Gulper Bilge Pump and strainer come pre-wired and pre-assembled, so you simply install and connect power. And you save time and money by reducing four separate components to one pre-wired system. The strainer uses IC to activate the pump as needed, and it also shuts off automatically. The pump’s remote mounting makes it easy to inspect, and keeps it dry and protected. It activates with a soft start that extends pump life, and the pump self-primes and runs dry without damage. The strainer has a small footprint so it fits into confined bilge spaces. The 12-volt DC, 10-amp system can pump up to 300 gallons per hour. A 12-foot cable connects the strainer and pump. The Gulper IC uses ¾ inch or 1 inch barbed hose connections, and the strainer uses ¾-inch hose connections. Non-choke valve allows for no filter to clean or get blocked. Whale designs and manufactures reliable marine water system products which are easy to install and use; providing boaters with hot and cold water, waste management and durable bilge pumps for peace of mind.
