Well done but I would like to recommend using a paddle bit

i would love to do this but I dont want to drill a few holes into my nice new boat lol

Very nice setup and informative video (thank you)... but doesn't drilling holes in the bulkhead defeat the purpose of having it?... or does the cable gland self-seal, even under the pressure of a full compartment (cockpit or hatch)?

bvfd598, I purchased two walls from a kayak store. they are just oval foam blocks glued into the hull.

Does the battery pack get too hot inside the Pelican case?

No fuse? Might be a good idea, especially of the pump shorts out.

We do not run a fuse, however you can. Over 200 units have been fitted to kayaks and we have not had a problem. We believe it would create another fail point. Worst case scenario - the wire burns out.

What Battery are you using here?

what make and model battry is this?

who makes the switch and where can i buy one?

Why not! it good fun, Our local club actual requires participants to have a hands free Bilge systems (level 3), and they really come in to their own in heavy surf launch and surf zones

Where can anyone buy the parts; bilge, water hose, tubing ,various fittings and sizes and the Magnetx Sikaflex ???? Most videos like this leave a full list of parts and where to find them. Why can't you do this and not leave everyone in the dark !!!!!! Ji

Having a potentially life saving component crimped and not soldered - yea that's a big no.

@@mikkelkirketerp4884 Not really, a properly crimped cable is often better than soldering, especially in applications like this. Because solder is stiff and brittle the connection point is prone to failure if the wire bends

I have tested one of these pumps for the last month, 8 hours a day on a solar panel, it leaked in less than a month. the seals for the power cables and the seal for the impeller drive shaft are woefully inadequate for salt conditions. not worth buying. look for a brushless option with no direct drive.
