bilge pump

  1. Bilge Pump v2.5

    E26-2 Bilge Pump v2.5

    Sigla came with a SEAFLO 750 bilge pump located in the center bilge compartment (crudely wired directly from the battery) and leftover wiring from an old Rule pump in the aft bilge. I replaced the SEAFLO wiring with proper terminals and stranded wire (my very first project). But the pump bit...

    Bilge pump switched power gone

    Switched my bilge pump out, Ericson 32-2 and now my instrument panel (bilge, cabin lights, master switch, blower etc) no longer works. What the heck happened? It was two wires, snip snip, splice splice, now nothing works...help?
  3. Automatic Bilge Pump Installation

    E32-2 Automatic Bilge Pump Installation

    I finally got around to installing an automatic bilge pump in Mariah last month. It only took me 3 years since I first thought of doing so. I voiced my reasoning elsewhere in earlier posts: The boat is on a mooring buoy (no AC or solar) in an isolated area. Ultimately, all the auto bilge...
  4. Small project:  Whale Gusher 10 Mk3 rebuild

    E32-200 Small project: Whale Gusher 10 Mk3 rebuild

    My boat came with two Whale Gusher 10 Mk3 manual pumps - one for the manual bilge and another to pump out the holding tank. The manual bilge pump was not working (just drawing air instead of water). I removed the pump from inside the starboard rear cockpit locker and detached the inflow and...

    Bilge Pump Issues

    Hey! Bought my 1978 E27 at the end of April and the bilge pump was working perfectly. Went to use it the other day and it doesn't work. I am thinking it is one of three things: 1) Fuse 2) Bad wiring 3) Bad Pump Here is the situation: I would flip my bilge switch on my electrical board and the...

    Help needed....bilge/plumbing questions (and could use a diagram?)

    Hi all, I have a newish to me 1980 E30+. I bought her a few years ago and we've had drought conditions in California since. This year, there have been some huge storms and my bilge/pump setup is being tested. (sidenote-I recently had hand surgery and it makes it infinitely harder (if not...
  7. Gusher 10 Replacement - Part 2

    E31C Gusher 10 Replacement - Part 2

    Well look here, a valve return spring! Nothing like this on the Gusher 10. Side by side of the deck plates and their gators.The old style was powercoated aluminum and the new one is plastic. Sign of the times, I guess. The holes for the pump arm are identical at 3 inches, but the mounting...

    Bilge pump vented loop question

    I have a siphoning question about the bilge pump vented loops. I recently installed a second automatic bilge pump slightly higher than the original in my 1970 E32. I put the outlet near the top of the transom on the port side because there was already a hole there. I have a vented loop...

    Thru Hulls and Bilge Questions

    My E28 is still kind of new to me, so I still have a lot to learn about it. A 1/2" plastic above the waterline on the starboard side thru-hull cracked off. I don't know that putting it back together the way I found it is the right way. The other plastic thru-hull is a 3/4". The 1/2"...

    Tracking down a leak on E 38

    Question 1: After a vigorous 6 hour shakedown sail in 30 knots of wind our newly acquired E 38 has developed a hard to track leak that adds an inch an hour of salt water to the bilge level even when the boat is in the slip with engine off and the seacocks closed. The stuffing box and thru hulls...
