I've now broken my second Attwood pump 'basket' that I had epoxied to my hull. Do I need to go the bracket route or is there another way?
Alternative to mounting bilge pump to hull?

Nothing is hitting them, there is plenty of clearance. The stupid tabs just shear off. More than likely from all my pancakes.

You are not alone, I went thru 4 of those baskets last year alone. I had a slow fuel leak that would push fuel out of my tank when the ski sat for extended periods of time and the fuel in my hull softened up the plastic basket and the 5200 holding them to my hull and contorted them beyond use. The other 2 broke cause my pop rivets were too close to the edges and cracked the base when i installed them to the new Blowsion bracket.
I emailed Attwood and they shipped me 5 brand new baskets, free of charge. I'll PM you the guys name and email if you'd like.

Zip tie the basket to the pump so there is more holding it together than just those two tabs.

Make yourself a plate from some scratch aluminum bend it and cut out the driveshaft part so that you can attach it to 2 of the screws holding driveshaft, then rivet the blue baskets down on horizontal part of plate and put a tiny drop of 5200 on the plastic latches.......it will hold for eva..

Side note, if u have the stock bilge still installed and a 500 gph bilge installed under the opposite side of the drive shaft, where should I put the other bilge? Does it fit in front of the stock bilge? Sorry for the thread jack!

I have attached my rule 360's to a stainless plate. I drilled and tapped them for machine screws, the screws hold the bases down. I had to touch them with the angle grider to make the screw flush with the bottom of the plate. This was then epoxied (cabosil) under the Midshaft bearing. I have yet to break a basket, but if I do all I will need is a few minutes and a philips.

were your attwood pumps the new or old style? New new style baskets are almost bullit proof.

Also put a thin layer of rtv all the way around the pump where it meets the basket. That will keep it from bouncing around, even if it is just a tiny amount. They have a little play in them without it.
I had mine mounted under the exhaust pipe, screwed into a 1/2 inch of wood that I fiberglassed down.
I moved it under the driveshaft with some 5200 so it will get more water out. I did it yesterday so it is still drying.
