Getting ready to mount a bilge pump in my max 2 and was just wondering if anybody helpful hits maybe what size or where to run the discharge hose. Common sence tells me it needs to be in the back sence the weight of the motor is in the rear. Also where to buy
hi I am doing the same thing I got mine at Canadian tire not sure if you are Canadian or not but I got everything from them. I personally chose one that you need to flip a toggle to turn it on some have a float switch built in. A guy I know told me he also added a screen filter around the pump itself to keep the larger debree from plugging the pump up. I also am going to mount the exit hose in the front so I can see if it is pumping out water and when it runs dry.
i bought a seasense brand 800 gph at walmart for about $22 and have clear vinyl tubing so i can see when it pumps/quits.
i have tools, and i have hands, its the filler between my ears thats missing.
That's a good idea on pumping out the front so u can keep an eye on it haven't thought about that
I got my pump from Walmart for $18 and my hose from Bass Pro Shop for $8. I mounted the pump to the tub in front of the engine and I ran my hose out the side so it wouldnt get caught up with the hinge when I lower the upper tub.
Im gonna jump over to walley world and get one of those. Im in the middle of wiring everything up. Might as well do it all together. Thanks for the cheap tip.
