OILBOX Bilge Pump / Wave-Powered

This wave-powered bilge pump is fitted between the boat and the mooring line. The pump is operated by the pulling force and constant movement caused by wind and water. Delivery includes two hoses. Featuring an innovative eye-bolt, the inlet tube can be easily fitted to the deepest part of the boat. Delivery includes two hoses.

The actual delivery rate of a bilge pump may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications, as it depends largely on the installation and power supply conditions. If the battery is fully charged, it will provide the necessary voltage to operate the pump at full power, but if the battery is only partially charged, the flow rate can be significantly reduced. The cable cross-section also plays an important role - if the supply lines are too long or too thin, voltage losses will occur, which will impair the performance of the pump. The hose diameter used also has an impact on efficiency: The larger the diameter, the lower the flow resistance and the better the actual delivery rate of the pump.
