Boat Hut Insight
When choosing an automatic bilge pump like the Whale Orca Auto 1300, remember that the pump’s ability to detect the lowest water level can be a double-edged sword. While it prevents excessive water build-up, it might also activate more frequently with minor water ingress, such as condensation or small leaks. This means your battery could be drawn upon more often than expected, so pairing your pump with a good quality marine battery or battery monitor is a smart move. Also, the snap-off motor housing makes maintenance easier, but it’s worth scheduling regular checks to avoid the classic “pump clogged with debris” scenario that can catch many boat owners off guard—especially after a rough passage or heavy rain. A clean bilge and clear filter base will keep your Orca running smoothly and your boat dry.
