Davey I spent 35 years dealing with minor and major issues as Yacht Captain. I enjoy your versatility in your abilities. But to be perfectly honest. I watch every week to see Erica. Glad you are so intense, the time I spend with my uselessness watching and yes having impure thoughts with Erica. I have said it.
I’ve used a split tube 5 minute epoxy before. Just has to be super clean and a thin application. Isn’t it so rewarding when something like this works out? Sourcing parts from a different supplier can save a bunch of money sometimes. Love when that works. Kind of like a handyman’s corner episode. 👍👍
If you can get metal epoxy, works. Very clean surfaces. Dont spin motor to long dry as it heats your seal and shorten lifespan. Try if possible to have some sort of metal pipe to insert into coil section when taking rotor out. Magnets over time loose magnatisme with no rotor inside, end up with one very weak motor. Nice vid.👍
I've used 5 minute epoxy for this exact same repair, it's been holding up for the last 6 months. Heat hasn't been an issue so far, these pumps don't get hot in normal use because they don't stay on continuously unless you run out of water and let them run dry for too long. If you have water in the motor, it's a good sign there are cracks in the diaphragm. There are tons of different brands and models of microswitch, I went with the heaviest amp rating I could find (25A), I figure the larger contacts will have a longer life. Honeywell and Omron are good brands. Slow leaks in your pluming are the worst for switches because they cause rapid cycling, especially if you don't have a pressure tank. I use CorrosionX Heavy Duty on everything. I prefer it to dielectric grease since it supposedly has some magic stuff in there that spreads out and makes a oil film even on metal that didn't have it directly applied.
Dave’s, I have used the original JB Weld 2 part epoxy to repair just about everything including a crack in the water jacket of the exhaust manifold on the inboard outboard engine in the boat. Boaters best friend.
Great repair job. Epoxy glue for the permanent magnet. Also silicon grease for moisture displacement when reassembling your electrical parts. It helps with corrosion. Get a large tube of it. Use it on all of your electrical mechanical connections ie batteries. Like your channel.
In my gallery on my albin 25 I use a very efficient footpump which pumps on the downward stroke as well as the upward stroke using your foot. My pump system has been operational for at least 25 to 30 years no problems
Testament to the utility of installing a foot pump as back up to the powered water delivery system. You'll be able to drink, wash and cook even if the electric system fails completely...For $20 US, you can get a 'Horsmile Foot Water Pump'. You don't need the $75 model for just a 'back up', and it's nice and quiet to use when others are sleeping... While you're opening everything up, slather all corrosion prone areas with dielectric grease, also, put an 'on-off' switch in line on the positive end of that 12 volt extension cord. Just dropping a wrench across the terminals can result in a melt down... And try to mount the units with the motor above the pump, I learned long ago, the totality of plumbing was 'Hot on Left, Cold on Right, Water (poop) Runs Downhill'... 🐕
Same part that I bought off of Amazon to fix my microwave. It is the switch that does not let you run the microwave with the door open. It failed, and so it thought that the door was closed all the time. So it would run with the door open. Replace the switch and good as new. Always cheaper if you have a little technical ability.
Hi Davey, Erica, I've just googled magnet glue and the best so far is epoxy resin or gel coat locktite superglue blue sticker. Good luck, I've also subscribed because I'm really impressed and enjoy both ur let's do it attitude. 🇦🇺💜😉
You should be able to get replacement bearings for the armature. Short of the coil "shorting" out, having extra bearings and brushes should keep you going indefinitely!
I've found that a lot of those bearings in smaller motors are the exact same ones used in skate boards and roller blades. I've stolen them more than once from my son to fix a motor. They have an ABEC rating, 1 is sloppy and up to 5 is close tolerance. Give that switch a liberal spray with Boeshield and it'll hold off that corrosion longer!
@@davidsullivan7494 very true! They use off the shelf common bearings to save money. Some may be sealed on higher quality pumps, but still they def aint making the custom for their application..
Those sealed bearings... New ones are cheap but if you got to use the rusted ones, you can pop off the seal and force some grease in there. The light weight oil you used won't work for long! Epoxy will bond to steel fairly well.
Metal glues of the super glue family are best unless you have constant moisture, which you do. Second best are epoxy based products and those can stand moisture, so I suggest that.
you should liberally coat the pressure switch with silicone dielectric. It will keep it from corroding and more importantly repel water. Also that bearing does not sound good. They should be almost silent. I possible i recommend getting a replacement.
Hi Guys just made it to the Caribbean, in Grenada now. What I did with my pump after the new switch went bad, didn’t see any water, I installed a relay so that all the current goes through that and not the switch, that pump draws a lot.
Also make sure you have an Accumulator installed, I didn’t and I think it burned out the switch sooner than it should have. Where are you guys at now? Would love to meet if I can make it there on the way back to the states.
They use a two part resent and if there i water getting into the motor the O ring seal is bad and needs to be replaced the one jut in front of the bearing
Sodium silicate works very well as a high temperature glue which is probably what you want with a motor that will get hot. Heat and epoxy aren't a great combination.
Yea but it’s freed up so worse case senecio it could work as a back up for a short time. But the other pump is good as well as the one we have installed now with the new switch!

That switch is the most commonly installed switch in the world. They are everywhere! Microwave doors, sailboat starter loockouts, pumps…you name it!

Ummm bubble gum? The baseball grape flavour one should do 😂
Great job as always guys!
😆 that made me laugh bubble gum 😂
Thank you!
Gotta love juicy fruit!
Let us know what you think!
I would use Bostik Simson Prep M with Simson ISR 70-05 AP.💪
Thanks
Just found your channel, great info ….I need to fix my water pump also……subbed and liked!
Thank you so much!!
I used Super Glue on my CNC router motor as a temporary fix. That was 3 years ago and it is still working fine.
Thanks!
great money saving hack... love that black top...
Thanks!

JB Weld for sure . Clean up the metal and magnet surfaces first . They will never come off !
Great information!! Thanks 😊
No problem

Rafael need to fix ours too so i will have him watch this.

Use epoxy to glue the magnet 🧲 whatever you have on hand should work fine, just thicken it up a bit with some fumed silica
J B weld to glue in magnets
Those sealed bearings... New ones are cheap but if you got to use the rusted ones, you can pop off the seal and force some grease in there. The light weight oil you used won't work for long! Epoxy will bond to steel fairly well.
Thankyou for the tip
Your welcome
Davey, on things like that I like to use E6000 glue.
i use super glue on trim motors for boats sand iside and nagnet acetone both well and glue in
Jb weld, make sure your magnets are 180 degrees apart
Metal glues of the super glue family are best unless you have constant moisture, which you do. Second best are epoxy based products and those can stand moisture, so I suggest that.
That’s what I was thinking also
Very good 👍😊😁👍🇬🇧👍
Thank you!!

maybe JB weld for the magnets. would have to be really cleaned well.
JB Weld marineglue - what else?
What do you do with engine / pump or work area towels? To keep areas clean

We are currently in Luperon DR still. Maybe heading to Bahamas soon!!
JB weld used it on an atv winch motor magnet , lasted for years
Sweet!
They use a two part resent and if there i water getting into the motor the O ring seal is bad and needs to be replaced the one jut in front of the bearing
Are you giving any inside tour soon in your future episode....?
Maybe!
Sodium silicate works very well as a high temperature glue which is probably what you want with a motor that will get hot. Heat and epoxy aren't a great combination.
Thank you
Some kind of epoxy or superglue but that can handle heat!! Need to find a way to stop moisture of getting in!
Yes!
Bearing sounds ok? Must sound much different in person
I looked for the part and couldn't find it. All that came up was the Jabsco switch. Do yo have a link or part number?

$5 to fix and the $30 saved goes towards adult beverages 😎🥂🍾🥥🌴
Did someone say crack on! Cheers.
😆 cheers!!

Super glue . IF it's clean. That's what it was developed for. Gluing metals .
Thanks
JB Weld / JB Quick
Cheers!
Those bearings sounded trashed to me
Glue it in with some 5200.
🙏
5 min epoxy. I know you have some epoxy. Will last forever
LoL, That bearing is junk. Not ok.😂😂
Yea but it’s freed up so worse case senecio it could work as a back up for a short time. But the other pump is good as well as the one we have installed now with the new switch!
get a composting toilet and you wont have more issues. wont cost 5 dollars up front though.
Our toilet doesn’t use fresh water
poly urethane
Thanks
Crack on shorty
Cheers
