I was hoping someone would look at that and tell me what I did wrong.
The old set up, ran along the very bottom, and did not have a strainer on it Would it be wise to put a valve somewhere? I have not really seen very many ski boats and do not know what they do. I was more concerned with the seawater getting to the pump more than anything. I believe this set up should actually fill the pump up if the boat is in the water. I’m thinking a failure of anything under water level would be catastrophic. And the water level is just below the bottom of the exhaust. Would a loop that went almost up to the bottom of the floor do any good? I am open for any suggestions someone has. The boat will probably never sit in the water very much, but you never know |

Thanks for sharing your work!
just one point of order, you likely already understand the intake filter will be comical to field service in that location? also, without the initial loop high, any failure of a good bunch of downstream components and connections would be catastrophic when moored?

I see vortec heads, an RR cam setup and a grille from my favorite Chev truck body style
The grille looks kinda lonely up there

The best sticker matches we found for all three were at Garzon Studio. If you call they will make you a 6 pack with the two on your boat and the AWSA sticker if you want it.

Those two decals (usa, cc) at rear are awesome. Make sure to keep or get new. You need the AWSA decal also

Nice rack! For holding up the boat. Shining the bottom side is not much fun at all.

I think you did some kind of magic that made all your pictures just plain vanish Edit..............it was a problem on my end that made the pictures disappear only on my computer, but it's fixed and I have the pictures again.

I forgot to comment on the Total boat bilge paint. It is great stuff,does not take long to dry, exactly everything as stated earlier in the forum.
I would recommend that to anyone to use. That being said, I am glad to be moving on from the bilge!!! |

I had some fun with the foam also. This”mushroom”came up through one of the holes I had cut looking for wet foam. Some folks like it’s growing in January in Ohio! |

Description
TotalBoat TotalBilge premium bilge paint is ideal for those greasy, grimy, humid places on your boat exposed to the harshest conditions and the hardest wear, especially the bilge. This epoxy-based, high-performance alkyd resin marine paint is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying. It provides a long-lasting, rock-hard, glossy finish that's resistant to all the nasty things that can plague not only bilges, but engine rooms, bulkheads, chain lockers, lazarettes, and V-berth stowage areas. We're talking diesel fuel, engine oil, acids, antifreeze, grease, grime, growth, heat, humidity, and solvents. TotalBilge's hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant finish provides excellent protection against the damage and staining that can occur when chemicals, oil and sludge get absorbed into wood or fiberglass. A clean, freshly painted bilge is not just for looks - there's also a practical side. A clean bilge lets you see problems such as leaking fuel and oil, and fix them before they get worse. Besides making it easier to find problems, our white bilge paint also makes it easier to find stuff that accidentally gets dropped into the bilge, such as tools and car keys. Our TotalBilge gray bilge paint is the lightest shade of gray available. Both colors offer superior opacity for excellent coverage and ability to hide previous stains on fiberglass, primed aluminum, primed steel, and wooden boats. The durable, high-gloss finish is also easy to keep clean - just wipe away the grease and grime with a cleaning and degreasing product such as TotalBoat Eco Solvent. TotalBilge is available in Quart and Gallon sizes, in your choice of Gray or White. Compare to other bilge coat paint products such as Interlux Bilgekote, Pettit EZ Bilge Paint, and Epifanes Bilge Paint. All TotalBoat products are designed for boaters, by boaters, to provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA. Brand TotalBoat Color Gray Finish Type High-Gloss Size 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Item Volume 32 Fluid Ounces Special Feature Chip Resistant Unit Count 32.0 Fl Oz Paint Type Oil Item Form Liquid Included Components Paint About this item TOUGH, WATERPROOF BILGE PAINT: This marine paint resists chemicals, oils, acids, alkyds and solvents. Hard, durable epoxy coating is ideal for boat bilges, engine rooms, lazarettes, lockers, stowage areas and bulkheads CHOOSE LIGHT GRAY OR WHITE: Paint boat bilge areas to protect and brighten so you can find & fix leaks and other problems before they become costly damage, or find items accidentally dropped into the bilge; both colors offer excellent coverage and hide EASY TO USE: Apply 1-2 coats by brushing, rolling or spraying on prepared fiberglass, wood and metal; prime prepared metals with TotalBoat TotalProtect; for fiberglass prime with TotalProtect if desired; for wood use TotalBoat Topside Primer if desired EASY TO KEEP CLEAN: Remove grease, oil, and grime from the high-gloss finish using a cleaner/degreaser.

Looking good. The foaming was the only fun part.
I tried to color dye the epoxy during fiberglass work. The epoxy didn’t take the color well. Kinda pinkish dark |

It was the Total Bilge paint. We liked it. Used it in the winter both times and my garage was approx 50-55 deg. Dried just fine.

If you please clarify something for me, I would appreciate it. Sometimes I can be kind of dense.
I checked out the website for Jamestown, and only really found one epoxy bilge paint. It was the total boat one that I had the bad review of.. If you could clarify exactly what product you used from them, I would appreciate it. And if it was the total boat epoxy bilge, and you had no problems with it, I would love to use it. |
