does any 1 know where i can get a bilge switch from, my 1 just packed a snot and stopped working ,also i am thinling of putting another bilge pump in or do i just need 1 at the back ,cheers
I can bring 3 way waterproof switches in from the states with my pistons next week. Will be like $70 tho, exchange rate is so average.
Just get a $15 waterproof toggle switch from Dicksmith Electronics. Drill it into the dash and your good to go.
Fuck that, these 3 way switches are genuine american ones that will out last your jetski. $60 including freight.
Yeah I agree, i've been thru 4 or 5 DSE and Jaycar ones... Those handle bar ones are just as gay.. always end up putting in a three-way. There is a reason they cost more - quality. If Norm will can do the switch for $60, go for it . DSE and Jaycar are about $15-$20 might last a little longer in lakes, but in my experience will do no more than 3 months of surf riding. http://www.blowsion.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=AWAC128 Sometimes they come in blue.
ive had mixed sussess with all types of switches..... i had a 3way type only last a few months ive had a jaycar one last a couple of rides. ive found the Dick smith ones last pretty good with the Jaycar and Dick smith ones you need to silicone around the toggle cover and the wire joins make them a bit more water tight ...seem to last pretty good then ...
why are there three ways on the switches do you guys use a float ?also is best to have the pump at the rear of the ski and are you ment to leave it on while you are riding in the surf
I have one of these.. http://www.johnson-pump.com/JPMarine/pr ... witch.html Yes, they work perfectly. No, they don't fuck out. However, they are $100..
2 inches is alot of water to be carrying around before your bilge turns on!! 3 way type switches like norms last ages knox you must have just got a one in a million dud cause i dont know of anyone else that have ever had one fail.
I've had one fail also.. About a week after I got the ski of Rick. Just make sure you use decent water tight connections or corrosion goes up the wires..
If you dont want to run a switch...Rule make an all in one pump and float called the rulemate. Its a 500gph and is $160. I haven't used one but i read a bit bout them on www.x-h2o.com and everyone that had used one raved about it.
