Nice job - for your next project, it might be a good idea to install a fuse box or bus bar to consolidate all those wires running to your starting battery. You can even put it somewhere really accessible up front, and then run a main positive and negative back to your battery. Definitely helps keep things organized!

I always install fuseblocks and switch panels in my builds. It looks like a lot of wires, but it's not that many. They are all for my graphs and the black box. They have to run directly to the battery. I dont want to get interference

I run two 800 gallon per hour pumps in my boat both are on dual setup. Never hurts to have more pump power in a emergency

Absolutely. I have an installed 1100 gph but I also have an oh shit pump, it's a 1500 gph with alligator clips that I can just drop in and pump overboard

I almost sank my boat on the first day of my vacation. The old " i put it in the wrong hole" it didn't click in my head why my automatic bilge pump would not stop pumping out water out of the side of my boat 🚢. Thank God I put on a automatic bilge put. It really saved my boat from sinking till I jumped in the water to put my plug in the wright hole 🕳️🤷

Jeez. Glad it wasn't worse. My uncle did the same thing a couple months ago.

I always replace bilge pumps with the 1100gph. I like to think it will give me a better chance to get back to shore if the boat starts taking on water.

Nice! if I had one of those I wouldn't have to fix the leak in my boat. lol

Hahaha, might still want to address the leak?

I prefer to hook the battery wire to the ignition so the bilge pump doesn't activate accidentally and drain the battery, but I also don't leave my boat in the water overnight.

Yeah, sometimes this boat sits in the water for 5-7 days at Lake Gaston.

Yes. Test the float tho and make sure the pump comes on when you lift it

I have the exact same pump that I want to install however I was assuming that the base that you pop the cartridge into is screwed into the mounting plate on my lund. Nope its riveted. WTF. Why would they rivet a totally removable and replaceable bilge pump?

The housing doesn't have to be removed. Only the cartridge!

What’s a Billedge pump? Billedge like Village? Lol!! Sorry man. But just as an FYI, people will tend to take you seriously when you pronounce the part correctly. Just a Bilge pump.

Thanks for being an A-hole 😆 I'm pretty sure it's not that serious

Did not dawn on you at all that maybe you should show actually removing the old pump? Good grief.
