- Building the Explorer Episode 6 - in this episode we will show you how to install twin Bilge Pumps on our catamaran hull.we will be doing the preparation, installation and wiring. We will wire the switches in a later episode when we wire the helm console.
I've done this many times and I've had to deal with some tough spaces and crappy bilge access but I've never seen one as hard to work in as your boat. I give you massive props for getting in there and being able to get that done man. What a tough job
If it wasn't for the camera I would still be trying to figure that one out, my arm was stretched to my shoulder down the access hole so there was no way to see what I was doing. Thanks
I think mines worse
Very impressive job, I thought my bilge was tough. Great video.
Thanks 👍
Whenever I make a butt connection, I use marine heat shrink connectors (as you have) but then I also put a separate larger piece of self sealing marine heat shrink over top of the entire thing for that extra layer. So far no issues :)
Thanks for the help just inherited an old sailboat.. had zero clue.
Good luck with your project, you might want to check out Boatworks Today as well, he has some great videos and loves sailboats.
Big thanks for the walkthrough. Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
👍
Great video!
Thanks!
God I admire you
New subscriber great content
At the 12:56 mark, what is the role of the hole in the hull in the top left of the screen?
That is the Portside drain.
Why not fill the old holes with epoxy?
We can’t gel coat over export do we stay away from it.
Where did you get the PVC connector that is attached to the bilge pump.
That came with the pump.
No test video?
It will be coming up as well as the console wiring, once we get back on this project. Make sure you subscribe so you can see it. Thanks
Why u not use automatic pump ?
The foot switch will run the pump automatically. If that switch fails(which they do) we can swap it out without replacing the whole pump. We will also have a manual switch on the dash. That will be coming soon so stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
@@SmokinReels most those pumps made by same factory $15-$20
Not at this time.
all I wanted to see was the wiring... and you skip it :-(
The control wiring will be coming up when we wire the console. Sorry about that I’ll have to make a new video when the job is complete. Thanks for watching
