Love these BoatUS videos! I like to do things myself to stay away from the huge markups in the costs of marine mechanics. These have helped me many times!

Thanks for the video!
Make sure to use ratcheting crimper (like he does in the video) for all of your electrical crimps on a boat - channel locks and regular pliers don't ensure a good solid connection.
Thanks for the tip, Tony. It's important to use marine-grade heatshrink connectors as well. Wire nuts have no business anywhere on a boat!
Thanx ! :-)
You are welcome, Joern! Glad you found it helpful, and thanks for watching
Any advice on how to replace a bilge pump hose when you don't have any floor access. We're all scratching our heads. PS-the hose cracked with the cold outdoor temperature.
Well, that's a bummer! In order to give you the best answer to your question, we need a bit more info about your boat, particularly make and model. It's hard to believe that there's no access to service or change the pump, but we've seen manufacturers do some dumb stuff!

What is the name of this fitting. Did he say gulp fitting? Please any body. And where can get that type of fitting
He refers to a "barbed" hose fitting. You can find them at most marine stores, for example www.westmarine.com/search?Ntt=barbed+hose+fitting. You might want to take your hose with you or ask a qualified tech to ensure you get the correct one for your specific hose/pump. You definitely don't want to risk making the wrong choice in this situation. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
There’s no access to my bilge on my nauticstar 215xts it’s just out of reach. any tips on how to replace it?
Thanks for your question, Kid. What year is your boat?
I got a 1980 23 ft bayliner and its somewhere under engine any idea how i get to it?
You may use a hole saw to gain access directly above the bilge pump then epoxy a Phillips head screwdriver into a piece of PVC tubing 4' long to unscrew the defective pump. First rule out the inline fuse.
Normally the bilge pumps are wired directly to the battery with a inline fuse. One way or another you need to have access as a bilge pump will need your attention on a regular basis.

Hi Anthony. Can you clarify: Are you looking for the location of the bilge pump in your boat, or are you having trouble getting access to it because of the location and other stuff in the way?
This video should be titled “check out these crimps”. An inoperable bilge pump could be caused by a lot of things.
Those connectors are not really water proof more like water resistant
Nope. They're waterproof. Promise. Thanks for watching!
