[QUOTE="RiverBottomOutdoors, post: 216981, member: 3912"] [b]Bilge Pump installed....but not wired. [/b] Bought, installed and tested an Attwood Tsunami 800 GPH bilge pump. How I did it: If you look back in the post about mounting the seats you'll see my Dad running a hole saw. The leftover circular piece from the jon boat bench seat was the exact same size as the bilge pump. I marked, drilled and countersunk the holes so that the flush mount screws would be completely flush. Then using nylon nuts I secured the pump housing to it. Using a pneumatic angel grinder I removed the paint from were I wanted to attach the bilge. Then epoxied it down. Routed the hose and installed the through-hull fitting. Pretty simple. To test it filled the boat up with water and wired the pump directly to the battery. I knew that a 800 GPH pump would be more than enough for my little tinny. This thing shots a stream of water like it's hooked up to city water. It really does some pumping. Mounting bracket epoxied to hull. Pump house secured on with nylon nuts.
