Whale WD3517P 12V 3.5 GPM High Pressure Washdown Pump, 60 PSI, Two 1/2 Inch Barbed Connections
The Whale WD3517P is a 12V high pressure washdown pump built to deliver a constant, targeted flow for cleaning decks, hulls, and anchor lockers. It produces a steady 3.5 gallons per minute at a 60 PSI (4.0 bar) pressure rating, giving enough force to knock loose mud, sand, and salt without a garden-hose style connection. The pump is designed to work in both fresh and saltwater environments and can run dry without sustaining damage, which protects it if the water supply runs low or the strainer momentarily loses prime.
Each unit comes ready to plumb in, including the pressure pump itself, an inlet strainer to keep debris out of the impeller, and two 1/2 inch barbed connections for hose hookup. Because it is a self-contained 12V unit, it suits boats that need a dedicated washdown circuit separate from the main freshwater or raw water system. The compact size makes it straightforward to mount near a deck fitting or anchor locker where washdown demand is highest.
