Good grief. For a boat the size of yours that is huge.
That has to be the biggest pump I have ever seen. Not to be outdone I must get one for mine. My cruiser has two but it will be a dock boat. I really dont want it to go down when I am gone. My biggest worry also. Any pics of those painted parts? You patients and diligence With this project is inspirational.
On your bilge pump there...
Does that have the 305 or the bigger 350 V8 in it? With regular oil changes and maintenance it should give you years of service.
Looking forward to the video of that monster in action
Alzo you are always the innovator, an electric jet drive as a backup power solution.
Azlo, I think that you accidentally ordered a pump for the raw water washdown kit.
Keep it for that use with some modifications maybe, and then get a 1000 for the bilge?
That thing could fill a livewell pretty fast too I bet
Good luck with the motor, I was really bummed out for ya when I heard the bad news.
Dude, no problem! What are iboats friends for?
Hey here is one quick thought...
Is that pump one that can have a hose hooked to the bottom? Like, take off the the strainer and install a hose running down into the bilge and within say 1/4" of the hull? Maybe mount the pump to the transom or something?
Just thinking out loud buddy. I know you have it mounted in there already but it needs to come out and be painted blue anyway, right?
Hey man I was joking a little but dont think my century will not have one of those to. I wasn't joking about being afraid she might go down while I am not there. We have had houseboats sink as well as cruisers, dont want mine to be one of them. If that big monster gets you to the bank one day who will laugh then? My 19 foot Bayliner has two pumps, only needs one but heck it dont cost much compared to recovery fees.
