Deck-mounted, self-priming, and compact enough to tuck under a tight galley counter. Pump fresh water on demand with your foot, or plumb it ahead of an inline electric booster for pressurized flow. Simple, reliable gear built for real cruising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA foot pump is one of those upgrades you don't think about until you've used one. Then you never want to go back. The Whale BabyFoot GP4634 mounts on your galley sole or a bulkhead step and pumps fresh water every time you press the button with your foot. Both hands stay free for the dishes, the coffee pot, or filling a kettle underway. It's the smallest foot pump Whale builds, so it slips into the tight spots where a bigger unit simply won't fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why boaters like it. It's self-priming, so the first few strokes pull water up from the tank without you having to fuss with it. Each press moves a measured shot of water, which means you use exactly what you need and not a drop more. On a boat with a modest freshwater tank, that kind of control matters. You're not running an electric pump and draining the battery bank just to rinse a plate. Press, rinse, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP4634 is a deck-mount design, so the body sits below and the foot button comes up through the sole or a step. That keeps the working parts tucked out of the way. Take your time on the install and seal the through-deck penetration properly with a good marine sealant. We've seen folks rush this part and end up chasing water that tracks along the hose into the cabin. A clean bed of sealant and snug fasteners is all it takes to keep everything dry down below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outlet is a 10 millimeter nipple, which pairs with standard 3\/8 inch ID hose. Slide the hose on, back it up with a stainless clamp, and you're set. If your line is a stiff reinforced type, a little warm water on the end helps it seat without kinking. The compact footprint, 5-1\/2 by 3-15\/16 by 2-3\/4 inches, means it drops in under most galley sinks without stealing the whole locker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth knowing: this pump is built to work alongside an inline electric booster pump. Plumb the BabyFoot on the feed side and it primes the line and delivers water by foot, and when you want pressurized flow you let the booster take over. It's a smart setup for a galley that needs both a manual backup and pressure water on demand. Run it on its own as a simple hands-free tap, or make it part of a two-stage freshwater system. Either way works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's it for? Cruising sailboats and smaller powerboats in the 25 to 35 foot range are the sweet spot. If you sail with a limited tank and you care about every amp and every gallon, a foot pump earns its keep fast. It's also a great emergency backup on a pressure-water boat, because when the electrical system takes a nap, you can still get water at the sink. Anglers and weekenders who cook aboard love having a tap that doesn't depend on a battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is simple. Give the foot button a wipe now and then to keep salt and galley grime from building up around it, since a sticky button is the most common complaint and it's easily avoided. The internal diaphragm is a wear part, so after a few hard seasons you may want to freshen it up, and that's a quick job. Treat it right and this pump will outlast a lot of pricier gear on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhale has been building freshwater and bilge pumps for decades, and that experience shows in a little unit like this. It's honest, simple gear that does one job well. If you're rigging a new galley or refitting an older boat, the BabyFoot is an easy call. And we're here to help you spec the hose and fittings if you need a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFoot-operated galley pump keeps both hands free at the sink for dishes, cooking, and filling the kettle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-priming design pulls water up in the first few strokes, no manual priming needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 millimeter outlet nipple fits standard 3\/8 inch ID hose for an easy connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeck-mount body with foot button through the sole keeps the working parts tucked out of the way\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 5-1\/2 by 3-15\/16 by 2-3\/4 inch footprint fits tight galley lockers and small sinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelivers a measured shot of water per press, so you conserve both tank water and battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to plumb inline with an electric booster pump for pressurized flow on demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhale BabyFoot, the smallest foot pump in the Whale range, backed by decades of pump design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Whale Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes this pump need electricity to work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. The BabyFoot is fully foot operated, so it pumps water with a press of your foot and doesn't touch your battery.
