Thanks for making this video. I’m looking for a similar solution because I also don’t want to drill that hole in my hull. Can you let us know where you got those rubber hose clamps? Cheers
is everything connected to one battery? engine, trolling motor, fish finder, bilge etc. Thinking about upgrading my jon boat, should I have a battery in the back for the engine and another battery up front front for fish finder, trolling motor, and bilge?
i have everything wire to one battery and it can do a full day on a full charge(24 size battery). The trolling motor is wired directly to battery with a 30 amp breaker. All other electronics are wired from the bottom switches. My engine is a hand start so i don't use my battery to start my 9.9 hp engine. I just put most of the weight in back to help with the speed of the boat as it's travels. i can hit about 17 mph with two people on board.
I like that you didn't drill through the hull, yeah it might not look as clean but once you put holes in Aluminum it will never quite be the same as factory. Then you're constantly having to go back and repair leaky spots with Silicon junk or some other sealant. I feel you should never put holes in your aluminum boat hull if you don't have to. One consideration I might have is stuff bouncing around in the back of the boat and knocking into your pump, breaking it. If you always drive on smooth roads maybe no issue but I've seen deep cycle marine batteries slide around, gas tanks get knocked around on some bumpy back roads when that trailer starts bouncing. My thing would be to ensure stuff is secured down tightly.
I also only have a 3 switch penal with a USB port so I can only turn the pump on when I turn my stern lights on because I ran out of switches and i have still yet to hook up my amp and Bluetooth receiver so I'm gonna have to figure that one out too. My advise is to get more switches than you think you'll need
Nice install bud!
Thanks man! You showed me exactly what I needed to know plain and simple...
So funny, I was looking at one of those a couple of hours ago. My lucky day to find your vid.
yes. i did too but no one had a video out for me to find.
Thank buddy! Good video 😎
Don’t you think you’ll have to much weight in the back. I enjoyed the video. Thanks
Did the gas tank jump around and “Unmount” the pump?

Where can I find the braces you uses for the drain hose and what size are they and what are they called
How many thumbs do you have?
Good job..
Is it a automatic bilge pump? Didn’t see a float switch
Manual pump tied to rocker switch

What that piece that locks the outboard to the transom called? Did you made it or bought it?
I'm new to the hole boating thing. What is the bus bar for and how do you hook one up. Thx
bus bar is to distribute power to the switches.
nice video, looking to do the same type of wiring that you did with the 7 switch panel... Where did you get yours from?
got it from ebay believe it or not for about 45 dollars
+OutofWORKoutdoors you know you can make your own for like 20 c a switch?
What size of cable for the bilge pump please
Is the pump automatic?
I put probably a little too much thought into mounting mine lol . All 3/4 pvc
