Albin Pumps

July 21, 2022

With Albin Group Marine’s new line of Cartridge Submersible Bilge Pumps, Aerator Pumps and Twinport Aerator Pumps, it’s easy to swap the motor cartridge between models. This commonality of parts allows users to quickly remove the component for inspection or switch it with a unit from another pump, be it from a livewell, washdown or bilge.

Based on the proven Albinus 12/24V motor, the pumps are available in models with 500, 750 and 1,100 gph ratings. A total of 16 versions of Albin cartridge pumps are offered, each matching industry standards for both performance and connection sizing. Compact and simple to install, they have detachable port connections with straight and 90° elbow hose outlets. They feature a rugged ABS thermoplastic housing and a stainless steel shaft with a seawater-resistant seal.

Replacing the motor cartridge on the bilge or aerator pumps is easy and doesn’t require removing the plumbing fittings. This makes it ideal for routine maintenance as well as on-the-water repairs. From a safety perspective, having a spare cartridge onboard provides peace-of-mind.

Cartridge Submersible Bilge Pumps have a detachable universal base plate with strainer and T-slot pin. This allows a level switch to easily be added for automatic operation.

Aerator Pumps are equipped with straight and elbow detachable ports. Twinport Aerator Pumps combine livewell and baitwell aeration and a washdown application. It does this from a single thru-hull intake. These marine cartridge submersible bilge, aerator and twinport aerator pumps come with a three-year warranty.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
