Default Re: Bilge pump mounting

Most pumps come with its own bracket, try to use the biggest pump you can afford!!

Mount pump up off the floor of the bilge about 2 inches. This will keep all the heavy sand and stuff on the bottom.

If you don't you will suck up every thing from sand to what ever is in there and be burning up pumps faster then you can buy them!!

If you are leaving the boat in the water then you will need a float switch or a pump with a built in float & a 2nd battery.
