Hi guys, Seadoo have a plug and play bilge pump made for fishpro and there is an outlet position allocated that ejects the water out threw the jet outlet. There is also a mount adjacent to the transducer for you to bolt the builder pump to. I just got mine installed by the dealer

[@insuafreightsolutions2014]

Good install but bad location for the discharge. I installed a 100gph bilge in my GP1200r and i put the discharge in the back. Much easier for the water flow, also you shouldve used a float to make it automatic, that bilge pump will burn out if it constantly runs dry..

[@rickss69]

Actually a great spot for discharge. You want it where any water flow is instantly and easily noticed...something behind you may not be noticed until it is too late. People are under the impression that a bilge pump will keep something from sinking...you are dead wrong. They can't keep up and are there as a indicator that something is wrong...which is exactly why that forward discharge port is a good idea.

[@nojabformeeducateyourself3393]

Awesome….you could also have little hose to plug to the outside so you can dump the water outside the ski too. Great video brother.

[@boandjill]

Good on ya for going the extra mile to install a bilge pump; I think all PWC's should have one. I installed a Whale Supersub SS1212. It has an electronic sensor (not a true float switch) and I wired it directly to the battery with an inline fuse. That way, it will kick in even if the ski is unattended. The problem with the OEM setup is that it only works if the key is inserted.

[@AM-lb9fo]

Did you only use one inline fuse ? if so, which side positive or negative side of the battery ?As you know , the Automatic bilge pump. we only use 2 wires instead of 3. the brown and the black ...Thanks

[@boandjill]

@@AM-lb9fo I installed the inline fuse on the positive wire of the pump.

This seems like such common sense that it ought to come w/ this..... I mean these are pretty expensive "toys" & I'd expect the thing to already have a pump on her? Well, if I knew I would not ask. Cool install

[@StoutFlier]

Love your vids! I put a link earlier to a picture of a Rule 3 way switch, but it looks like it's gone. Sorry if that wasn't cool. I put it on my install on my '21 FP. Works great.

I’m not sure if KZbin blocked the comment but I actually didn’t get a link. That’s awesome, enjoy! Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

[@StoutFlier]

@@iBelongOutdoors Yeah, they are blocking it. Anyway, lookup the Rule 3 way rocker switch for their bilge pumps. You'll love it. What are you guys catching right now? My daughter lives in Miami, and I was thinking of bring my FP down in the next couple weeks. BTW, I'm going to link your channel on all the PWC fishing FB pages I'm on.

Don't get me wrong I'll still keep watching your stuff it's pretty cool.

[@chefgarrin]

You can buy that pump with a built in float switch... will only run when water reaches an inch high. When water lowers it turns itself off.

[@yakkindaz7477]

What an excellent video! Well done!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevinwilkinson5538]

I just ordered the FISH PRO SPORT after seeing your Bahamas video. I’m just getting into inshore/offshore saltwater fishing. Would you consider doing a video covering your fishing gear?

[@iBelongOutdoors]

Yes, thank you for watching and supporting !!

[@espenandrepaulsen952]

Check your Carbon Seal! U can see the dust on the sides inside the ski

[@seancraven2361]

I would prefer if it was switched automatically, with an manual switch aswell.. Great job and neat work with with what you have though.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Great job! This type of video is tough to make and definitely triples the time it takes to complete the project. Have you ever had water in your hull? I just installed the BRP auxiliary battery kit last night and nav lights and it seems to stay pretty dry in there.

[@raymondmorales8252]

The only reason you will get water inside your Sea Doo hull is if the oem carbon seal that are prone to go bad without notice fail. From my own experience (I almost sank my 3 seater ski in the open ocean waters one day) in my opinion a bilge pump is a most have item that everyone should install in their Sea Doo skis 😉. I use to wrench in skis in the past and I have had six of them of in the past.

[@rodolfoizquierdo6657]

Great job but I feel like you should have some kind of switch, either a toggle or a float switch

[@charlieprice09]

hey bro love your content. i noticed your fish finder piece on the bottom of your ski. does it go work through the hull of the jetski or is there a hole in the hull of the jetski

[@iBelongOutdoors]

its a in-hull transducer, it reads through the hull

[@scottharrison5942]

Nice install and super smart idea for the bilge pump, extra insurance when youre offshore. I had a question, I'm wanting to get a FP trophy, what is the overall length of the FP on the trailer from tongue to back, I need to see if it fits in my garage. Thanks and cheers from Florida!

[@steela1309]

Great install. Only suggestion. 5200 down a piece of Starboard. Then. 1/4 stainless screws threw the bilge pump strainer. Snap the bilge pump in. By glueing the bilge pump in directly, how do you replace it if the pump goes bad and can’t get the same pump?

[@realriskybiz]

Good point

[@PRex352]

I was wondering how the JB weld is holding up I'm about to install one on my GTX thanks

[@jinchung4150]

I ordered mine and should I do this ? Is it recommending?

[@JLMiller410]

Do the covers that go over the engine have gaskets? Is it common for water to get in?

[@juliebarsky6761]

Well done! Why are these not standard on this model? Have you had situations before installing of having water in the compartment?^

[@cfmotoz8626]

Good question, I met a guy last trip he has a fish pro , the bearing failed at 70hrs, he was way out at sea. Still under warranty. He’s installed a pump with float connected straight to the battery. All his friends had bilge pumps installed. I’m seriously thinking of getting one asap on my RXT 300

[@hertzdount]

Great video …. Do you think it would be better if the bilge pump had a float switch? And do you think it would be a problem having the plastic tube zip tied to the hot exhaust?

[@iBelongOutdoors]

Hey! Thanks for watching, a float switch is a serious concern I had as well when installing this. I think it would awesome to have this apart of the kit, but I’m hoping because Sea-doo sells this kit without a float switch that this pump is made to manage running dry. The hose zip tied to the exhaust hose should not be a issue.

[@2Thelimitfishing]

Off topic.....I see you are out quite often. I plan on running in the Gulf 1-3 times a week weather permitting and brackish or fresh when I can't get offshore. Do you spray your engine down with a protectant ex.(wd-40) every time you wash? Thanks.

[@iBelongOutdoors]

Hey! I just spray it down with fresh water

I didn't realize the fish pro bilge pump was so much more involved than the normal bilge pump.

[@MrLibbyloulou]

Is that your drive shaft boot off down there in the bilge.....?

[@YourDrawerness]

Is that where SeaDoo recommends drilling the hole? About to put a deposit down on a 2022 GTX Limited and am just curious because i’m probably just going to have the manufacturer or dealer install it. Drilling a hole into the precious hull of my new SeaDoo will also bring a tear to my eye. I’d rather have a professional do that.

[@iBelongOutdoors]

All of the instructions I followed in this video are from the instructions that came with the bilge kit.

[@jinchung4150]

Is that something we should all do to our skis?

[@christophermillett2273]

If you're planning on going offshore, I would highly recommend it.

[@waynemack1140]

My question is why did you have a discharge into the foot well and should be discharged to the outside of the ski and why didn’t you put it on the switch so you don’t run your battery down with the pump continuously running even though the skis on you’re putting stress on the electrical system and possibly more than likely burn out the pump when it’s running dry

[@jinchung4150]

Is that something we should do to our skis?

[@insuafreightsolutions2014]

Recommended.

[@ernk2830]

Have seen a guy on youtube who makes auxiliary battery boxes for these, would it be easier to just get a back up battery thus not putting any additional drain on the primary, especially since its running when not needed.

[@iBelongOutdoors]

This bilge is ran on a fuse, it doesn’t drain your battery.

[@ernk2830]

@@iBelongOutdoors so when running where does it gets its power from.

[@realriskybiz]

@@ernk2830 when the ski is running it's being recharged by the onboard generator (alternator). So it's never "draining" your battery, so to speak.

[@jinchung4150]

Does water go in our bilge?

When the ski is running so is the pump?? Will that cause the pump to burn out with The pump always running?

@@iBelongOutdoors why take the chance, float switch will save you headaches. And save you money and a headaches later. Always a chance it runs when u first turn it on then shuts down and has some kind of sensor or float in the unit. Keep all posted, like to know how it turns out.

[@AM-lb9fo]

why would the bilge pump run without any water to eject? isn't that supposed to be automatic .. only when water level rises to a certain level is the engine bay ? why was it humming right when you pressed the start button?

[@Travis.Fisher]

Where does the water drain after it goes near your feet

[@iBelongOutdoors]

In a real situation if your bilge pump starts pumping water out you aren’t going to be sitting still. You’re going to start heading inshore. When the the ski is on plane all of the water in the foot wells and the water coming out of the bilge port will run off the back of the ski. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@BilluAwann]

Bro are you in Miramar /pines area ?

[@theking-fy1rp]

My only worry is if the pump is running consistently that it's going to eventually burn out if there's no water

[@davidlesperance5473]

Just concerned that it is running all the time the switch is on….needs to be on a float switch… also, isn’t $154 for a OEM Seadoo bilge pump kit highway robbery???? Don’t they make enough $ on the 22k + Jetski? Big fan btw, good on ya!

[@mgoebel810]

you dont want it lower on a jetski our you'll get wash back. the foot wells are designed to fill with water and drain when under power.

[@06barcafan10]

Why on earth isn’t the bilge pump standard on this type of PWC? Common SeaDoo…. ….

[@scottsmith7191]

Is there a specific reason the pump output thru-hull fitting was installed on the port side of the PWC where it will fill the foot wells vs. the recommended / standard transom install (see Sea-Doo pub: 487802051) where the water will be ejected overboard?

[@brettroberts2912]

Good info on this is hard to track down. Do you have a link to this doc? (Sea-Doo pub: 487802051)

[@rickss69]

See the above post as to why that rear discharge is a very poor decision. Btw, if the pump is moving water it will shoot a stream completely across the footwell area and outside the craft.

[@alecmccain8654]

Too bad the Seadoos come with a factory installed bilge pump. Great video! Cheers!

[@Hunter-sj9cm]

They absolutely DO NOT. They have a vacuum bailer. Your vacuum bailer will run very well, as long as the engine is running. The problems come when say, you just hit something, water came in, the engine will not start and now you’re taking on water. If you can’t get that engine running and start moving at idle speeds, you’re going to be in a world of trouble. The bilge pump runs off of your battery still has potential for failure, but it is most certainly not a factory included option..

[@calittle5209]

I still don't get it, why put a water pump on it?

[@allensaelee6707]

Good, now you need another one for the footwell. Horrible location for discharge

[@davidwjacob]

Im sorry but i totally disagree with the way this is installed. The creator of video stated "This bilge is ran on a fuse, it doesn’t drain your battery." that is not true. The pump is running off the battery, the fuse is there to protect it from drawing too much current in case of a short and frying the electrical. also there should be a float switch on this bilge. you do not want a bilge pump running the entire time a your ski is powered up. If your thinking of adding a bilge, do not follow this video. Get a bilge pump with a float switch and wire it direct to the battery with a inline fuse. The only time it should kick on would be if water is in the hull. it should not run all the time. also if your sitting at a dock with this setup and your ski takes on water the bilge will not go on unless your there to see it. thats the reason for a float switch and wire direct to batt with inline fuse. so if your not around, say good bye to your ski. this is really bad advice video. sorry to say, as i LOVE your content

[@rickss69]

Direct to the battery means stacking terminals which is a proven loser approach. Using the already provided fuse panel is the correct way.
