What Are Whale Pumps Used For?
Whale pumps are mainly used to move water around your boat. This includes:
- Supplying water to taps and showers
- Moving waste or grey water
- Helping with deck wash or cleaning tasks
- Running your boat’s internal water systems
Having the right pump helps keep your boat’s water system working smoothly and reliably.
Picking the Right Whale Pump
Each boat is different, so choosing the right pump depends on your setup. Smaller boats may need a lightweight, low-pressure pump, like the FW0814. Larger boats with more taps or showers will benefit from a higher-powered model like the FW1215.
Make sure to check the flow rate and pressure before you buy. If you’re not sure what you need, our team at Lincolnshire Marine Services can help you decide.
Shower Tap Options for Boats
We also stock a range of Whale shower taps. These are ideal for small bathrooms or deck showers. Models like the RT2500 or RT2498 are easy to install and made to work with Whale pumps. They’re compact, reliable, and designed to save space on board.

FAQ – Whale Pumps for Boats
What is the difference between Whale pumps for boats and motorhomes?
Many Whale pumps are sold for both boats and caravans, but the key is in how they’re used. Marine pumps usually have different sized fittings to Caravan & Motorhomes. That’s why it’s important to buy the right type for your application.
Can I use any Whale shower tap on my boat?
Yes, they operate with multiple freshwater pumps. The difference is the connections to the pipe work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring or drop us a message.
Do I need a high-pressure Whale pump?
Not always. Smaller boats usually only need low to medium pressure. High-pressure pumps are better for boats with more than one water outlet or shower.
