I thought some of you might appreciate some innovating bilge pump installation ideas. The owner of this boat asked me to take a look at his bilge pumps after a near sinking at the dock. Water had risen over the floor boards. These 500 gallon per hour bilge pumps were servicing a 40' boat, two total. One midship and the other located in the bow. Note the speaker wire, loosely twisted connections. The float switch cleverly attached to the flattens aluminum angle and the spatchula mount for the pump itself. The genius of this design is a couple of screws and you can access the pump without bending over. These pumps were supplied by a group 27 battery laying on a shelve unsecured attached with alligator clamps to a Sears Diehard battery charger. No thermal protection at the battery. The battery registered 4.3 volts. A red and white 16 gauge wire running 30 plus feet secured to the battery with wing nuts. The owner says just make it work, I don't care about any code. Oh and by the way can you make the engine run, I want to go cruising. Gas engine by the way.
