Whale Flipper GP0418 Hand Operated Galley Pump with Swiveling Outlet for Fresh and Saltwater
The Whale Flipper GP0418 is a hand operated galley pump built for simple, reliable water delivery at the galley sink. It uses a self priming lever action so no manual priming is needed before use, and a light back and forth pumping motion draws water with fine flow control. The outlet swivels, making this pump a good fit for installation between two sinks where a single pump needs to serve both basins. It connects to 1/2 inch flexible hose for straightforward installation, and the outlet is made from non-corrosive aluminum alloy paired with a durable molded plastic base, so it stands up to both fresh and saltwater galley systems. At a rated flow of 1.85 US gallons (7 liters) per minute, the Flipper delivers enough output for everyday galley tasks like filling a kettle or washing dishes, while its manual operation means it draws no electrical power and keeps working even when the boat's electrical system is off. Whale has designed and manufactured marine pumps since the 1960s, and the Flipper reflects that long running, classic hand pump design: compact, low maintenance, and easy to operate with one hand. It is suitable for both fresh and saltwater use, making it a versatile choice for galley installations on boats where a simple, dependable manual water source is preferred over a pressurized electric system.
