Great video. Very informative. I'm new to the PWC arena. I have a Seadoo Fishpro Trophy and have been learning as I go.
So kind of you to leave a comment. Hopefully, you picked up something in the video that is helpful and applicable to how you use your machine. Happy riding!
Great video. Excellent idea with the bilge pump.
It is the best insurance policy you can have. A few $100 and some time. Definitely worth it. Lots of RUclips videos and other info on the Sea Doo FB owners site. Cheers.
@@BriansEscapadesabsolutely. The best part is the location of the exhaust very good!
Brian, thank you for all the information. I like the mod with the knob for the screws towards the front of the cover. I would like to talk to you or see a video of how you did the bilage pump with the exit holes towards the front of the ski.
Thank you for the questions.
You can find the nuts on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RW9ZH4H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For the bilge pump, I bought this 1000GPM Johnson Pump and then a three-way bilge pump switch: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Q8KQFY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are lots of pumps, switches, mounting options to choose from. Do your research and find what works for you.
As to how I plumbed it, you could see in this video the general location of where I mounted the pump. Then I took the 3/4" hose and ran it up the starboard side of the PWC. There are these ports that run from the engine compartment up to where the nose cone is. Watch this video and at about three-minute mark the maker explains exactly how to fish the hose: ruclips.net/video/5TqyKTOQSe0/видео.html
I found this video when I was installing my Garmin GPS and thought that I could do the same thing with the exhaust hose for the bilge pump. So, I fished the hose through the routing port, then drilled a hole in the nose cone for a thru-hull fitting, and used a hose clamp to attach the hose to the thru-hull fitting. That location is where the water exits when the pump is triggered. As I said in the video, you can replace that piece of plastic in the nose cone for $30-40 via any Sea Doo parts website.
If you decide to install a switch, you'll need to figure out where you want to install it. I cut a hole in the storage compartment and mounted it there. You'll need to wire it to your battery with a fuse. I used heat shrink on all of the connections. Then, zip-tied everything neatly.
I hope this addresses your question(s), or at least gets you started. If not, please reply and ask. Good luck.
I’ve had two batteries go out on me. Luckily one was right at the ramp when I tried to fire my ski up to put it on the trailer. The other one I was out about 5 miles from the ramp. The problem with those jump starters is when your battery goes out you can’t jump it. It’s dead. You need something to sustain power because you ski will not run with a dead battery. I’ve thought about using one of those, but just decided to carry a spare battery.
@@danav3387 thanks for the comment. Interesting point. I know on the Fish Pros there is a second batter. If you’re on the ST3 hull you could add a second battery with the Sea Doo kit. But carrying an extra batter work too. Removing the battery is a pill. Enjoy the rides.
