Good morning Richard,



Just out of curiosity, I was looking at the Whale Gulper
Grouper Pump BP4574 you mentioned and it seems to be a
"fish box" waste pump.

Do you think in case of problem the insurance won't try
to argue and find excuse to not pay a claim?

I am asking because the captain that deliver my boat 2 years
ago, replaced mine with a "waste water" and since
I have been pretty disgusted with my insurance (Delassee)…
(I am waiting before writing anything on the forum about
this issue).



I have also talked to people where insurance used excuses
(not related to anything) like 1 person had things stolen in
his boat (while in storage).

The insurer ask if he removed the batteries. Reply: NO.
(and why ask because the batteries were not stolen, nor was
the boat) but the insurance refuse to reimburse because
batteries where still there.

When ask to show where this was written on the contract
(was not showing anywhere) the insurance stand still… And
I am having a similar problem…



So just being on the cautious side, would hate to use a pump
not use for this purpose and end up without coverage…



Any opinion?



Sincerely, Alexandre

Hi Eric,

the pump we successfully used is a Whale Gulper Grouper
Pump



BP4574.  24 volt mounted on a plastic board on the

bulkhead.  We need a

hose to use a hose adapter to make it all work. We used
the

Amel switch

and it worked very well for years.

All the best for the new

year.Richard Piller
