Hey guys progress has been slow but I'm getting closer to seeing if this thing actually floats, shooting for a memorial day shakedown. I'll post pics of the progress soon. I've searched and found myself lost in the math equations trying to figure out what size bilge pump would be sufficient for my application. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

nice boat for a first one mine was a glass 14ft clinker with a seahorse 40hp it had electric gears no tilt and electric start
took it out after giving it a paint job had it going flat out then i hears a drowning noise the engine come off lol lucky for the old steering cables kept it from sinking. good news got it home got all the water out and it only broke a key way on the flywheel so i made one and had it out on the water the same day

think i was doing a bit of this:beer:when i put the engine back on
and about the 3 ft short my wife always tells me im a few inches short lol

I used a triplex round wire at 16 gauge for a 500 gph pump(Auto pumps need 3 wires). Honestly you can get away with running 18 gauge for everything on the boat. I gutted about 85% of the wiring on mine and replaced it with the 18 guage for most of the runs in the console. Then to power my fuse block I used a 6 gauge feeder from the battery.
