<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nMy observer on the back leaned over at the same time another boat’s wake rolled into us and the whole ski just tipped and rolled due to the slow no power turn. Having to turn over the Sea-Doo was easy enough but the hull was full of water so we returned to the bank to drain the hull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily that it started back up otherwise we would have some Jetski fault finding<\/a> to do. Hence my mission is to install an automatic bilge pump into a Sea-Doo using aftermarket parts cheaply so fewer problems to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This Jetski DIY Bilge Pump Install\u00a0project can be done in a few hours. I chose the rule 500A bilge pump but you can use a higher GPH pump if you feel the need. The following items will be required.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rule- The float switch is an electronic type so there shouldn’t be any false starts of the pump as the Sea-doo bounces around. It’s a g<\/span>ood idea to test-run your pump in a bucket of water before installing it. There are 3 wires for the switch.<\/span><\/p>\n When water enters the hull and is detected by the bilge. It needs to reach a certain height (2-3\/4 inches) a sensor turns the pump on. After the water is pumped out another sensor shuts the pump off. So mount this pump in the lowest part of your boat or Jet-Ski.<\/p>\n Rule pumps<\/a> have been designing and building bilge pumps for over 50-years. These sump pumps are the first choice by boat owners and fishermen all over the world.<\/p>\n I used 3m dual lock tape<\/a> on the bottom of the rule pump water inlet filter. This enabled me to stick the pump onto the hull bottom and easily remove it if the pump fails or other This tape is absolutely fantastic it’s so strong and really locks the pump down. Just clean the hull with methylated spirits first to get a good bond on the tape.\u00a0<\/span>After 2 years the pumps are still stuck on good.<\/span><\/p>\n You will need to run your 2-core cable up to the battery and terminate it with your in-line fuse on the active. A 3 amps fuse is fine as the pump only pulls 2 amps. You will need a larger fuse if you use one of the higher GPH pumps like the 750 or 1100 GPH pumps. These will draw closer to 4 amps. <\/span><\/p>\n The other option is to run only the active wire up to the battery and run the neutral or earth from the pump to a screw on the engine for the earth. Don’t connect the fuse yet.<\/span><\/p>\nSea-Doo Bilge Pump Install Simple DIY – Rule 500, 750, 1100 GPG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to mount the bilge pump a the lowest part of your hull. The outlet can be on any side as long as it is above the water line.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"dual](\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/dual-lock-150x150.jpg\")

<\/a>Next is to mount the override switch,<\/em> I put mine just below the glove box latch. I found this a great spot as it is easily accessible and well-hidden at the same time, a small hole will have to be drilled to enable the cable to pass through.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Bilge](\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/seadoo-bilge-4.jpg\")
<\/a>Next, tape the front side and the back side with masking tape, this stops your paint from chipping when drilling through the fiberglass with a hole saw.\u00a0<\/span>
