Fitting and testing a sea kayak bilge pump
Спорт
I fitted a bilge pump to a kayak I use for messing around in. Doing rescues, having fun, generally getting wet. A very simple self contained bilge pumpand battery set up. If people want to know the in's and out of the build I can do a quick close up of the components. Very simple though.

Awesome video, sir! I've seen so many kayak videos here in the states that are sinking. I'm buying a hobie with a ton of gear with it and bilge is one of the top items included.
Like this setup, great video!
Looks great!
Great setup! I am trying to find the pvc connector as shown in your video. U happen to know the name of this particular part?

Hi, thanks for comments. Its called a bulkhead fitting.
Great video. I understand how the electronics work. However, did you use a waterproof container to protect the battery and wiring connections, or do you rely on watertight bulkhead? My ORU Kayak lacks a watertight compartment, which would require a submersible batter container. Thanks

I've got the battery in a watertight container. I used a waterproof plug / socket to allow it to be removed. Velcro to stick it to the inside of the kayak.

Thanks for responding. I just purchased a Nocqua 4Ah water resistant battery kit. Hope that works as well as what you have. Including a closeup of the install and container (or link to that part) might be helpful to others looking to do the same.
Hi, Allister cant find an email address for you. I was talking to you in Grangemouth last week about loch leven etc, I was just wondering if you have a FB or something to contact you ? Cheers Joe
