BILGE PUMP INSTALL for the Micro M10

What's going on ya'll! So I got rained out at work today and thought I'd install a small bilge pump in the Micro M10 tiny boat since forgetting the plug the other day at the lake! The pump went in great and looks even better. This is a great little DIY video if you want to add a bilge to your tiny boat or regular boat for that matter. Please hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe to the channel! Think I may hit a new lake tomorrow if I don't work so a vid will be to follow. See ya from the water! Johnathan

I commend you the smaller the boat the more important the bulge pump for most people it is an afterthought. A fuse or circuit breaker inline nearest the power source is crucial. A short circuit in this circuit with such a large battery could easily cause the wire to go to white hot and ignite the foam in the seat.

Every hard 90 added reduces flow about 50% I would try to utilize smooth radius bends in hose to a straight out through hull high on the side.

Looks great gonna do this on my 1448 alumacraft

Ryan thanks my friend. Good luck with your alumacraft. Those are good boats.

You need a fuse block on your boat.

Good video, adding one to my flat bottom soon, can you do a water test video with it?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks for watching and for the compliment! Unfortunately James I don’t own that little boat anymore but I did do a water test on it. Didn’t get it on video but it worked like a charm.

What app do you use to make your Bassin 911 logo at the beginning and end of your videos??

[@bassin9114]

Mark Buie sorry bud I just saw this question! I used IntroMate. It’s a free app then got my sound effects off of KZbin for free and edited it all together in my editing software.

@@bassin9114 One more question ChaChi. What editing software do you use?

[@stevepham854]

should i need the fuse for that project sir. i am new. thanks sir

[@bassin9114]

Steve Pham thanks for watching! You could absolutely do an in-line fuse but I just didn’t. A 10 amp should be fine. Good luck with your project!

Bassin' 911 thank sir

@@stevepham854 not only you could use a fuse if you value you and your passengers safety you MUST. You can easily weld 1/8” steel with only the energy contained in a group 27 lead acid battery. You are on a very small island surrounded by water maybe at night. If you develop a short from the + wire contacting any ground or develop an internal short inside the bulge pump and the wire melts and the insulation burst into flames it’s whole length. Did I mention that you are sharing this island with a gallon of gas. Would you want to fly in a small airplane knowing the owner installed his own accessories and wired them himself by running them direct to the battery. Works good until it doesn’t. Wouldn’t it be nice if a fuse broke the circuit before any of the above happened? Have you noticed all boats, automobiles, heavy machinery, buildings are built with circuit breakers in the circuits. It cost money to add cb and if they could be eliminated and maintain safety they would have been. If you wouldn’t be comfortable stripping wire and holding the ends on your battery you need a fuse or cb. Hint: don’t do this!
