Waveblaster B1 Bilge???

[theRabbitbutton]

I have a B1 torn apart right now...it is going back together mostly stock. Before I put the motor in for ease..: should I install a bilge? Is it worth it on these machines? I’m not sure, never really ran them before. Just doing some boat chasing, lake riding with it during the season. Nothing wildly crazy. Not sure if they take on a lot of water or not???

THanks!!!

If you are not surf riding I would say no. If you do end up getting some water In the bilge you can put on a scupper valve.

Yep, I am just finishing up a blaster build myself. I have two installed and they work great. If you do decide in the future to install a bilge I would install it under the battery box, Makes for a clean and simple install.

While you have it apart be sure to carefully align you pump, midshaft, motor.
