Well today a package arrived from MR brown truck from my buddy. 30' of 0gauge marine fire proof fiberglass wrapped marine wire. Well I opened the box to find a duck tape wreth, joy. Cut the tape and what's under it but about 150 zip ties awesome. 38 min later I have it open. Practical jokes between frends hahaha. But I can't argue with this $150 worth of free wire, and also about 200 bucks he already gave me. He said he used an entire new roll of tape lol

Ok went to install the new bilge after "date night" as the wife calls it but basically it's every Friday we go to the same local spot lol. Ok so after I got the screws out of the factory plate. (Let me tell you that was a pain in the rear) well got the new base plate screwed down. And we'll I overlooked the diameter of the outlet compared to the factory hose 3/8 vs 1.125" we'll I now have new stainless 1 1/8" thru hull fitting ordered will flow more water and look a lot sexier.

I guess the factory bilge crapped out bc of all the gunk and crap inside the pump and one the wires corroded and broken. Ill fix that with solder and heat shrink.

I just cleaned out my old pump and changed the switch, I had a Sure Bail in there for 11 years so I replaced it with another one when it stopped working this spring. Its amazing how much crud there is in the bilge of an old boat.

Well I guess a bird got in shop and pooped on the dash. So it got a sand and new gray and 4 coats of clear coat. Tomorrow night I will 1500 and 2000 then compound then polish wax and install Monday.

Shiny even though she is dirty from all winter.

Wow your kicking butt on this thing,,,,

I just ordered the same bilge pump for my 99',,, any tips on taking out the old or installing the new pump before I give it a try??

Yea. Take a rubber hammer 2 good licks just breaks the plastic of the old one and rip the screws out. Then a stubby Philips. As the oil pan is close. I then mounted the blue base and the pump will just click in once I sauter the wires tomorrow or Monday.

Ok so yesterday I got a few things done.

Prop hub swap was a total disaster (addressed in another thread)
Took the lock mech from the glove box to the local lock smith to have keys made I got 2 keys made for $14 well worth it for the security to lock up wallets, car keys, phones when rafted up and at beaches.

Installed lock and adjusted it. I couldn't be happier. Tight no rattle and secure.

Screwed down the 3rd bat box for the dedicated start bat.

The remainder of the evening consisted of cutting and soldering and crimping and heat shrinking about 15 terminals onto the power lines and the main boat switch. Few small wires for grounds and ignition bypass for the control box and few odds ends. I have the ground to the start bat and bolt the switch and panel in and all that is done. Tonight.

Then I'll move to the switches in the dash ANC with power to the boat I can check all the switches and make sure they all do what they are supposed to do. Tune the amps. And we'll get the last of the electrical done. That's the agenda for tomorrow. Then. Good full boat vac and clean up and I'm about done re wiring the entire boat. What a task but well worth it.
