Last weekend was fix the oil injection system....this weekend, I decided to clean up some things and re-work the bilge area.

 

1.) I could not easily see the RACOR filter bulb

2.) Anytime I had to service the batter or work on something, it was a hug effort to lift it out and move it-I wanted to be able to check the water levels easily

3.) I wanted to clean up my bubblers 

4.) I wanted to move the power pole pump up under the seat and out of the bilge

 

PP guys sent me the tubing and ferrels and I was ready.

 

Here is the part one in the bilge with the battery removed -

I bought another Lexan cover for the Bennet pump...yep, 22 years old...still pushing:)

Took a pic to remember things...then used the Perko manual to do the final install.

Removed the power pole pump- yep, very yucky living in the bilge...

I HAD TWO EXTRA QUARTS OF GREEN OIL AND CHANGED OUT THE OIL IN THE UNITS - IT WAS DARK AND YUCKY.

I SET THEM IN PLACE...RAN THE CABLES TO THE SEPERATE ON-OFF SWITCH WHICH I RAN FROM THE BUS.

THE ON-OFF SWITCH RUNS THE POWER POLES AND THE BUBBLERS....SO, I CAN RUN THE SHRIMP WELLS WITH TWO BUBBLERS OVER NIGHT OR WHEN ON THE ROAD AND NOT HAVE THE FULL SYSTEM ON.....IT WORKS FOR ME.....

 

THE AUTO BILGE IS RUNNING OFF THE MAIN-ALWAYS LIVE BUS TO THE RIGHT...THIS WAY IT HAS A VERY GOOD CONNECTION AND NO WORRIES ON THE BATTERY CLIPS

THE TWO FUSES TO THE RIGHT ARE THE BUBBLERS @ 5AMP THE ONES TO THE LEFT ARE THE POWER POLES - 30 AMP 

I USE SHRIMP ALOT AND HAVE 3 BUBBLERS IN THE LIVEWELL FOR CARRY 10-12 DOZ WHICH IS NORMALLY WHAT I CARRY FOR A FULL DAY.....

ALSO HELPS WITH LIVE BAIT, WHEN I CAN NET IT......

 

I USED ALL BLUE SEAS COMPONENTS - OTHER THAN THE PERKO WHICH I HAD AN EXTRA....ALL ANCHOR WIRE AND ANCHOR CRIMP ON'S.
