bilge wont fit!!

[SuperjetSteve]

well i got my attwood v750 in the mail today i tryed to put it in the back under the crank and it wont fit. its too big? theres a clear plastic thing with a black hose leading to the pump? is that a stock bilge? somone help my dads all pissed at me cuz its too big

 

[Snackem]

Yeah I put two of those into my X2 last night. That plastic 'box' with two screws is the stock bilge. Take it out. You may have to modify the base of the pump housing by cutting the tab (where it is designed to be screwed to the hull) off. I'll get some pics of how I did it on my X2 and post them tonight.

 

[SuperjetSteve]

the pump is to tall and wont fit under my crank?

 

[SuperjetSteve]

come on someone help me !!!

It doesnt go directly under the crank (couplers), it goes off to one side. The white plasttic housing is also, for the most part, looks and can be trimmed down. You set the pump as far to one side of the couplers as possible (not necessarily, but enough t clear the couplers), while still having it remain on that flat surface back there.

 

[SuperjetSteve]

so i can shave down the top of the white piece?

 

[jetskiking]

When people say under the crank thats just a figure of speach. it should go next to the crank so it pumps the water from under the crank.

O I O

I = Coupler/Driveshaft
O = Bilge Pumps

I'm not sure why every always thinks a bigger is better. Why not just buy 2 500s instead of 1 750. More pumping, less crap

 

[meatball]

No, not on the top, on the sides. Hard to explain, theres a pic somewhere around here...

But yea, Atwood 750's should fit.

Why not 500's? Not rule 500's I hope, they airlock, atwoods are cool, but the 500 attwoods are about the same size as the 750's I believe. I got 360 RULES on all my skis and small boats, but thats me.

EDIT: This is Hangtimes ski below

[SuperjetSteve]

yes but thats a yama crank? kawis have no room and are 1000 x smaller with no room to do ********.

 

[demolition_x]

look at torpedos post he did it with his 750.

the 750gph pumps are huge. you can break the outer white shell to make them about the same size as the 500 gph pumps.

 

[SuperjetSteve]

ok? theres no pics that kinda helped but its still to tall. im gunna run over my cuzins house to see how his 500 is mounted in.

 

[Idok]

dude, its not that hard....your seeing a forest, but no trees.....


pull the coupler cover......and place the 2 bilge pumps on EITHER side of the coupler/shaft..

you MAY Have to remove the stock bilge, but with these pumps YOU DONT NEED IT!

 

[SuperjetSteve]

umm i just did that ?? and still wont fit. im gunna sell it and get dual 500s or single 1100

 

[IceRocket1286]

if you cant figure that out dont buy new pumps because its not hard to do and you dont need to screw 2 things up. Its easy. it doesnt HAVE to go ALL the way to the back. it will fit. its not rocket science.

 

[SuperjetSteve]

yea its a bitch i dide everything to get it in there besides shaving it down and it still too tall if i shave it down

 

[meatball]

It goes on the side, not under the crank, I dont see how you dont have room? Its been done before. Cut the case down, like in the pic I showed you.

 

[Waste Land]

I've had little trouble out of all my Rules. Btween my two 500s and a scupper i do pretty good

 

[B-Roy]

If youre not smart enough to fit it in the back, put it up front, theres PLENTY OF ROOM, and it will still work, but wont get the last bit of water...

 

[tor*p*do]

putting an electric bilge in a 750 is a biatch.
My rule 500 ended up behind the battery :frown:
Never could get it in next to the driveshaft. Tried two different brackets and none worked. It stays pretty dry in there, si I figure the pump behind the battery is for emergencies only
Need pix?
