Rated to move up to 500 gallons per hour, it is intended for clearing bilge water from small to mid-size boats and keeping the bilge dry during normal operation. The housing is molded from durable plastic in a black finish, chosen for its resistance to constant exposure to bilge water and marine moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a non-automatic model, it is switched on and off manually or through a separate control rather than an internal float switch, giving the operator direct control over when the pump runs. Its low profile, narrow footprint (11.18 inches long by 6.14 inches wide by 2.67 inches high) makes it a straightforward fit for compact bilge sumps and shallow bilge areas where clearance is limited. As a single-unit pump, installation follows standard 12 volt bilge pump wiring and thru-hull discharge practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Supersub 500 is built for boat owners who want a compact, reliable manual bilge pump for routine water removal, backup dewatering, or as a dedicated pump wired to a separate switch panel rather than an automatic float-activated circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whale Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SS5012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-automatic bilge pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Flow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 gallons per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e AC\/DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrow low profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.18 inches L x 6.14 inches W x 2.67 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 766478951014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Whale Marine Supersub 500 an automatic bilge pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Supersub 500 (SS5012) is a non-automatic bilge pump, meaning it does not include a built-in float switch and is turned on and off manually or through a separate switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum flow rate of this bilge pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Whale Marine Supersub 500 is rated to move up to 500 gallons per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage does the Supersub 500 run on?\u003c\/strong\u003e It runs on 12 volts, matching standard marine 12 volt electrical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the physical dimensions of the SS5012 pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Supersub 500 measures 11.18 inches long by 6.14 inches wide by 2.67 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Whale Marine Supersub 500 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This pump weighs 0.7 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Supersub 500 has a black plastic housing designed to withstand ongoing exposure to bilge water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this pump described as low profile?\u003c\/strong\u003e Its narrow, low profile style keeps the housing height down to 2.67 inches, allowing the SS5012 to fit into shallow or tight bilge spaces where taller pumps will not sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Supersub 500 come as a complete single unit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Whale Marine Supersub 500 (SS5012) ships as one complete pump unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Supersub 500 be wired to an existing bilge switch panel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Since it is a non-automatic pump, the Supersub 500 is wired to a manual switch or control panel rather than relying on an internal float switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Whale Marine Supersub 500?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS5012 has a black housing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031620690139,"sku":"WHA-SS5012","price":45.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41i9RVHZKNL.jpg?v=1785216091","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/whale-marine-supersub-500-non-automatic-bilge-pump-12-volt-500-gph-low-profile","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
