Instead of a spinning impeller and cutting blades, the Gulper Grouper uses diaphragm pump technology with non-choke valves, so there is no impeller to jam or burn and no filter to clean out. The pump moves up to 6.75 US gallons (25.5 liters) per minute and can run dry without damage, making it a durable choice for boats that need reliable fishbox drainage over many seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 360 degree multi-directional head lets the BP4572 be mounted almost anywhere space allows, and its dual 1 inch \/ 1-1\/2 inch hose connections match standard fishbox and bilge plumbing without needing an adapter. Because a single Gulper Grouper can be plumbed to serve multiple wells, one pump can do the job that would otherwise require a separate macerator on each well, cutting both installation time and cost. The pump runs on 12 volts DC, draws a modest 5 amp dry-running current, and is protected by a recommended 10 amp automotive fuse, so it is easy on the battery bank. Housed in aluminum, corrosion-resistant steel and brass, and glass-filled nylon, the BP4572 is built to hold up in the marine environment while staying easy to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whale
