2014 superjet bilge bracket help

[jagerauto]

So I bought a bracket that they swear will work on 2014 and 2015 as well as older models.

I'm not sure if the coupler is bigger or what is going on but the bilge hits the coupler before I can line up the right side bolt. I bought this one instead of the blowsion one because I can still use my stock syphon bilge and it mounts off to the other side.

Anyone else have this issue?

This is with both bolts started but loose. No bilge. Can't get it in.

Just glue it to the hull with a Adhesive 3200 fast cure

Gah no.... I bought the bracket dammit. And I don't want it coming loose and screwing me lol

Going on 7 years now with dual bulges. Glued.

Is it so much to ask that what I buy works?

Just an FYI. The blowsion dual bilge bracket has a a spot for the stock syphon and works with the stock coupler just fine.

NO its not and so many times people buy things and are dissapointed by this sort of thing.

I'm going to try to bend it. Idk

you could try and clearance the top of the pump some. That is just a cover........ you may could grind the top down then use some 5 minute epoxy to seal it back up.

thats the same midshaft and coupler as my 97. i got it to work fine... the top of the bildge barely touches the midshaft on mine

 

[blastin603]

stock bildge sucks. lose that thing if ur doin a bildge and setup dual cooling

 

[jagerauto]

Hmm good to know. Blasting do you have a picture?

Just bend it till it fits!

I have an 11 superjet which is the same, I run a dual bracket that retains the stock syphon as well as clearing the shaft once the two bilges are in. I got it from optima racing but believe it's the same as the blowsion one without the logo.

 

[jagerauto]

Only reason I am doing the bilge is because I already had the the bilge kit. Just needed the bracket.

If your stuck on using bracket and not glueing you CAN run the coupler on a lathe and clearance it..... Message kwakhead. ...

 

[jagerauto]

I got it to work bending.. And such.

I think your bracket is made by Hot Products and recently they had a manufacturing problem. It is being addressed but the new part isn't yet available. I returned mine and elected to wait until HP has new parts.

I had the same single bracket and same problem with fitment on a 2012. Threw the bracket in the trash and glued the bilge in place. Wasn't worth the hassle
