Pump below deck
A compact pump module for tight covered bilge areas. Check clearance and access against the setup instructions.
Independent bilge pump for covered bilges
For covered bilges in moored boats. RainTaker LowDeck puts the compact pump below deck and the separate solar housing above, with power independent of your house bank.
The water is below deck The daylight isn’t
A covered bilge can collect water while the boat sits in its slip. A pump with a solar panel built into its body would leave that panel in the dark.
LowDeck separates the two jobs. The compact pump sits at the collection point and the topside solar housing stays in daylight, connected by a cable.

A separate 5W topside solar panel replenishes the system’s battery as daylight allows.
Check it from the deck
The topside voltage display and voltage test button let you check readiness without reaching into the bilge.

Full setup guide
Position the pump below
Check clearance, secure the pump at the water collection point and route its discharge hose safely overboard. LowDeck is intended for moored boats.
Place the solar housing above
Put the separate 5W housing where daylight reaches it. Route the included 15ft Communication Cable safely between the pump and solar module, allowing for hatches and access.
Check before leaving the slip
Use the topside voltage test button to view battery voltage. Check the discharge route and keep the primary installed bilge system in service.
Independent of the house bank
LowDeck uses its own stored battery energy for water removal. Its separate topside solar panel replenishes that energy, while the pump stays in the covered bilge.

Position the panel in daylight. Charging depends on light conditions and an unobstructed panel.
Topside readiness check
Press the voltage test button to view battery voltage. Check panel placement and the discharge route before leaving.
LowDeck is built for the covered-bilge setup
For moored boats where the pump and charging panel need different locations. Check the bilge space, cable route and discharge before choosing.

Why choose LowDeck rather than Pro?
Mini and Pro have onboard solar panels, so the whole unit needs an open location with daylight. LowDeck separates the pump from the charging housing for a covered bilge in a moored boat.
What connects the two parts?
An included 15ft Communication Cable links the compact pump module to the detachable solar module. A 15ft discharge hose is also included as standard. Plan a safe route around hatches, moving parts and normal access points.
Does it use the boat’s house battery?
LowDeck carries its own battery reserve and uses its topside solar panel for charging. A permanent connection to the house bank is not required.
Can I check it without opening the bilge?
The topside solar module has a voltage display and voltage test button. Pressing the button shows battery voltage; it does not run the pump. Check the actual water-removal route as part of setup.
Will it fit any enclosed area?
LowDeck is intended for covered bilges in moored boats. Check dimensions, securing, cable reach, panel exposure and discharge routing for your specific bilge. Do not assume any cabin or engine compartment is suitable.

Find your RainTaker LowDeckWhat if my bilge area is covered?
RainTaker LowDeck is designed for center consoles, cruisers, I/Os and other closed boats up to 35 feet. The pump sits in the covered bilge, with a separate topside solar panel exposed to daylight.
Its own battery provides independent automatic water removal. The removable solar panel and waterproof quick connect at the panel end help with cable routing through tight spaces. Check the product instructions and retain your primary installed bilge pump.
