BILGE PUMP Install Complete Step-By-Step {Jon Boat To Bass Boat Conversion} Lowe 1448

[@genekind8752]

Just use the 3M 5200 to glue the pump to the floor. I put two in my boat. I have it wired so that if one turns on they both run.

[@gameon2081]

I'm thinking of adding another one just like the one he installed (build with a floater) since the one I have activated only with the switch panel but I want to know if I can use only one hose for both pumps so I don't have to make another hole.

[@mikegerardo5360]

Your my new favorite friend! Just got a used Lowe 1648 and want to make some modifications but today’s project is a bilge pump. Only one of your videos I’ve seen so far but 99% of other Jon boat videos are useless. You go slow enough and thorough enough to actually learn something. Can’t wait to watch the other videos because your boat looks great.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Mike.

[@65MK]

I like your idea on the install and using the aluminum plate. This little boat is going to be first class.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. Coming along nicely. The plate worked out pretty good 🙂👍🏾

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

5200 it down

[@Navyuncle]

Friend, I find your videos very informative.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

@@Navyuncle thanks

[@tommysimmons6931]

Have really learned a lot of good information from your videos. Preparing for a upgrade/conversion now and project will be made easier thanks to your help.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

All good Tommy. Glad you got some good info from my vids. Good luck with your build. Enjoy the process. 🤙🏾👊🏾

[@VX_DJ]

this boat has really come a long way!!! Cant wait to see the final product out on the water

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Yepp. Me too lol.

[@dorperdorper3396]

Thank you for the detail on the wiring - especially on the auto float wire connecting with inline fuse directly to battery

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

🤙🏾👍🏾

[@anthonyolivo670]

Bro, you’re a life saver. I’ve spent hours trying to figure out how to hook up a auto bilge pump without using a 3 way rocker switch. Nothing I read or watched told me you could simply cap The brown and use brown white stripe as positive. Dude you are the man! Can’t thank you enough.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

All good bro. Now get that bilge pump hooked up and get out on the water 😃🤙🏾👍🏾🎣🐟

[@jesusislord-ht1nj]

Nice tidy job well done

[@electronpusher604]

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks again! I'm almost done with my boat build(much less awesome than yours!) and your channel is my #1 go to for info.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man!!! Appreciate your feedback and support!!!! I'm sure your boat build is awesome. Tight lines!!!

[@ianyokoro8925]

Happy fourth! Another clean install! Really like how you keep it real by showing occasional mistakes. Usually ppl edit out that stuff. We all make mistakes on things, even the highly experienced dude do too! Keep it up!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Ian. I'm a newbie at this whole thing so I made allot of mistakes lol. Happy Fourth of July as well.

[@texstar77]

Cant find the vid where I asked my question on wiring the switch and fuse box. First of all, Thank You for your reply. Now the rest of the story. Have you ever stared a problem into complete impossible? I did. Nothing was making sense. Walked in garage this morning, picked up the switch and instantly saw how to do it. Remove red wires from switch, run individual Hots to each switch from fuse leads. Just like a house!!! DOH!! Thanks again buddy! Next time I leave TX and go to Dutchess County I'll holla! Maybe see ya on a res up there some where!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Yessirrrr!!! Appreciate you. Tight lines

[@psychodad4634]

Thank you for this video! I learned a lot to prepare my 1436 for a bilge pump. Great job!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

No prob man. 🤙🏾👍🏾

[@trevorwhat]

Excellent walkthrough. Thanks for putting this together.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

🤙🏾👍🏾

[@dopeboyy214]

Love the build really teaching me a lot ready to get my project started

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

GO FOR IT!!!

[@brap242818]

Nice. your video helped me figure out what that 2nd positive cable was on my used boat with bilge pump I got. Now I see it is the auto pump switch. thanks!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

👊🏾👍🏾

[@riverrat7406]

Just got done watching the video where you installed a rod locker. Looks great.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks RiverRat740. Appreciate it!!!

[@jameshagans198]

I have too say you made the wiring of your boat easier too understand I’m not the best when it comes to wiring things up you made it easy too understand

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

@@jameshagans198 thanks. That's good to hear. I had trouble understanding other people's video so I'm glad mine made sense to you.

[@striketheiron6374]

Fantastic job. Thanks for the video

[@stephenwilliams1352]

Look up “cowles edge trim” you can use it to cover your exposed aluminum edges for added protection. Love the build, and videos.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks for the tip Stephen. I'll look it up.

[@jbettss]

Dude this is a great video. Thanks a bunch.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

No problem. 👍🏾🤙🏾

[@cgrazglassworks]

thanks for the video!

[@DrKagihara]

Awesome videos! Throw your 5200 in the freezer. It will quickly thaw and be usable whenever you need it!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Wow. That's a new one. Might try that out next time

[@Delmarvafishing]

Happy 4th bro, the boats looking awesome congrats

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Urban. Happy 4th to you and your fam.

[@mikebanaszak8635]

Good work man! Thanks for sharing. Gonna use this.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Cool. 🤙🏾👍🏾

[@RealDuckMaster]

Nicely done!

[@brianwest1501]

Nice job!!

[@cristianrivera1405]

I’m ready for decking

[@Gammaflat]

Nicely done.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks

[@1201chesapeake]

I realize this video was done a while back but I am wondering why the bilge pump was not secured to the bottom of the boat with West System 5200. Yes it is permanent. If you want it to be semi-permanent use the 4200.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Just didn't want to go with that option. If I need to replace service the bilge pump, it's easier this way.

[@joedasilva8887]

Ok sorry for asking I love all you videos my question is I have the same bilge pump the black wire from the bilge pump you went right to the battery right and the brown and white wire all went to the battery right and the brown wire went to the switch panel what size inline fuse did you use a 10 amp or bigger? Thanks

[@MrSDJ]

Clean!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks

[@oneangrycanadian6205]

If your not affair of drilling a hole, you could buy the hose port for the bilge if installed one on my jet ski and a second on my bass boat. They look good and don’t weaken your boat. .

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I'll check it out but yes, I'm afraid lol. I might be more open to it in a year or two.

[@oneangrycanadian6205]

Bass Brothers Fishing DMV lol

[@chowboy44]

The hull plug should go on the outside, not the inside of the boat. If you take on water, you can quickly pull the plug after getting on plane and gravity will drain the boat naturally. Thorough work and very detailed explanations. Thanks!

[@jps755]

With the bilge pump right postioned where it is, how are you going to push the tab that is against the transom to remove it in the future?

[@gameon2081]

I'm thinking of adding another one just like the one you installed (build with a floater) since the one I have activated only with the panel switch but I want to know if there is a way that I can use only one hose for both pumps so I don't have to make another hole.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

A 'Y' adapter like this might work. Seachoice 3-Way Y Fitting, Fits 3/4 in. ID Hose, Black Plastic a.co/d/dKICJWo Depending on your hose size.

[@ryanuhazie]

What amp fuse for that? I’m going to buy it on Amazon with your link?

[@robertraney2067]

I'm thinking you could have just flipped the piece over maybe

[@nicholasjwetzel991]

Alright if I may ask a question but at the same time break this down to make sure I understand. I'm using the same pump and hose assembly you have purchased and are demonstrating with, identical. I do not desire a switch so with that being said connect the black to the negative and the brown and white to the positive and test it. It works good to go? Or do I need to add a fuse still? Is a switch recommended? I understand the switch can be made to use a manual option but the way I see it why would you need a manual option if thats the main feature being automatic?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Yes, you are correct. If you are not using a switch and you want the pump to work on its own meaning turn on by itself if your boat takes on water then only connect the black wire to the negative and the Brown and White wire to your power supply. I would also fuse it with at least a 5 amp fuse just to protect it if you can. The other wiring option is if you want to have the ability to activate the pump manually as a backup to the auto feature, then you would also connect the solid brown wire to a switch. The you would be covered either way. Hope this helps.

[@mikeford9176]

Might have been answered earlier but where did you get your aluminum for your bracing

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Metal Supermarkets. Way cheaper than home depot and Lowes. Call them to get the lowest price. Don't order from their website.

[@Pitchpullin5]

You can always use velcro

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Velcro does wear out over time but it's easier to manipulate

[@matthewrobbb]

Hey man, im trying to learn how to wire stuff myself and have no background in it. Finding it hard sometimes when theres a lot of wires and stuff just kinda gets a bit overwhelming any advice how i can improve?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Take your time. Everything needs a positive and negative wire. Red power and black ground. If it gets overwhelming take a break and come back to limit mistakes. You can do it!!!

[@matthewrobbb]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV thanks bro really appreciate it! that makes me inspired to master this! love your content man keep it up :D

[@cristianrivera1405]

Is the decking video coming out today

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Sorry not yet. I still have more work to do before I can put that video out and I hit major road block today I need to fix. But don't worry, I'll get it out asap.

[@brianwaterman9588]

Did you use steel rivets and will they rust out?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I used steel rivets from Home Depot. I hope they don't rust. I'm not sure if they're stainless steel or not. I hope they are. Steel is stronger than aluminum but rust would suck.

[@brianwaterman9588]

Ok thanks

[@djmjr77]

Should always use the same metal or your looking for trouble .. aluminum to aluminum, stainless to stainless.. If the rivets don't say stainless they will rust 100%.

[@jdmsterdam5515]

Thanks for the info. I want to buy a car from england. is there a company in england that can fix the export papers or plates? Or is there a company in england that can put the car on my name? So i can drive tha car back the same day. Thanks

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Thank you for making this video . I bought the same pump that's 750gph

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

👍🏾🤙🏾

[@captgregbrown5773]

Put your 5200 in a ziplock bag close and put in the freezer it last forever.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Never heard that before. Must give it a try.

I can tell You who the vender is, CHINA. yelp thats correct
