Bilge Pump and Float Wiring on Your Boat

In this video we are looking at bilge wiring where the positive connection between the bilge pump and the switch is lying right in the bilge water. Notice how the heat shrink butt connector is actually not heated and therefore provides no protection against the elements. • It's not surprising that the owner invited us aboard for an electrical audit and to help identify the source of some stray current on the boat. • The non heat shrink positive wire is lying right in bilge water. A circuit back to the battery is possible via the water, through the keel bolts, and then the shaft, through the engine, and back to the negative post of the battery. Sure it's a bad run, but a circuit nonetheless. A situation like this will result in lots of corrosion to a boat. • It's worthwhile to inspect your bilge wiring and make sure that no connections are ever under the usual level of the bilge water. Also, we often find heat shrink connections not properly installed. Take the time to finish those connections and eliminate corrosion troubles. • Finally you will see what bilge wiring should look like when properly done. Notice the connections are much higher then the usual bilge water levels and all the heat shrink connections are properly heated and therefore sealed. • SUBSCRIBE to the PYS YouTube Channel • https://www.youtube.com/user/PacificY... • Sign up for the NEWSLETTER https://confirmsubscription.com/h/r/2... • Follow Us: • / pacificyachtsystems • / pacificyachtsystems • / pysystems
