Whale Marine

Whale Marine (a Navico Group brand) is the industry's premier "problem solver" for boat plumbing and water management. While other brands focus on standard centrifugal pumps, Whale specializes in diaphragm technology and "Intelligent Control" (IC) systems that handle the messy reality of boating—like hair in the shower drain or air-locks in the bilge.

At Anchor Express, we carry the full Whale catalog, including the iconic Gulper series and the newly released Twist Mk2 deck showers.

1. Gulper® Series: The "Unstoppable" Pumps

The Gulper is arguably the most famous name in marine waste management. Because it uses a large diaphragm and non-choke valves instead of an impeller, it can pump almost anything without clogging.

• Gulper 320: The 2026 flagship for both bilge and gray waste. It features the Ezi-Clamp locking ring, which allows you to rotate the head 360° to fit into impossible-to-reach spaces. It can run dry without damage and easily handles hair, scales, and food particles.

• Gulper IC (Intelligent Control): This "smart" system eliminates the need for bulky sensor tanks. The pump communicates electronically with a small remote strainer; when the strainer senses water, it tells the pump to start.

• Gulper Grouper: Specifically designed for fishbox drainage, capable of pumping out scales and fish waste that would instantly destroy a standard macerator.

2. Fresh Water & Quick Connect Plumbing

Whale revolutionized boat building with their Quick Connect plumbing system, which allows you to plumb an entire boat without a single hose clamp.

• Whale Quick Connect Fittings: These 12mm and 15mm semi-rigid pipe fittings use a "Double Gripper" design to provide a 100% watertight seal. They are rated for high-pressure 2026 hot water systems and come with a 10-year warranty.

• Watermaster IC: An intelligent pressure switch that compensates for voltage fluctuations. It prevents the annoying "pulsating" of your faucet and automatically turns the pump off if your water tank runs dry.

• Twist™ Mk2 Deck Shower: New for 2026, the Twist Mk2 puts all controls (temperature and flow) directly in the handset. It requires no lid or cover—the handset itself creates a splash-proof seal against the hull when stowed.

3. Bilge & Gray Waste Management

• Supersub Smart Series: An ultra-low-profile automatic bilge pump designed for the narrow stringer spaces of modern performance boats. The 2026 models feature a "Bleed Ball" that prevents air-locks, ensuring the pump primes every time.

• Grey Waste Tanks: Available in 8L and 20L sizes, these tanks feature "Triple Seal" lids to prevent odors from escaping and use solid-state sensors that are immune to soap scum buildup.
