hey guys i jsut wanted to see where you are mounting your bilge pump switches and also what kind of bilge water fittings are you using? pics would be great!!
3-way rotary on the SJ. On the Blaster I took a toggle switch with a boot seal, soldered on the wiring, then coated the case and solder joints with epoxy and attached it to the underside of the start/stop switch. Nearly three years and it's still working like new. Not the prettiest thing, but it works great and cost under five bucks.
on my sj, it came with the blowsion switch that mount under the yamaha start stop. on my kawi i just used a marin toggle on off switch and i mounted in on my handlepole under the bars. they actually sell them at my supply house....$5
Might be hard to see but mine is a JSS rotary switch mounted in the old fuel selector location. I used a blowsion protector cage but the overhang of the Diablo hood and the SN fire extinguisher cannister do a pretty good job of protecting it. Even harder to see is the dual 45° bilge fittings in the corners by the hood.
I have the handlebar mounted ones on two other skis and will be switching to dash mounted rotaries as they fail. The rotary are way cheaper, simpler, more reliable and way easier to change out when/if they fail.
Mcmaster. com sells these CPI switches, mil spec, some of mine are 15 years old, still working. Regrettably there is also a cheaper CPI version ( the cable entry is glued not molded), it tends to fail within two weeks.
