Surfriding Where do you guys mound your external fuel pumps?

Pinittowinit · Nov 4, 2015

I'm curious to where everyone is mounting their external fuel pumps. I have seen some mounted to the tank and some mounted to the hull by the carbs. Wouldn't by the carbs be more efficient ?

Some think that it's better to have it near the tank to help the pump push the fuel. But on the other hand you want the pulse line less than 12"

Short line and above the pulse fitting. Thrust has some nice adapters to mount them to the back of the carb or just attach a mounting plate to the side of the hull.

Thrust innovations has a super clean set up to mount pumps on the carbs.

They look great and I wish they didn't break, but I went through a few of them, even a couple different versions and the threaded ears broke off all of them in very short time.

oh man, that stinks. Did you just end up making a mount out of Carbon?

On the outside.

Sorry. I just couldn't help myself.

Thrust stopped making those brackets

I got UFO mounts and I think I'm just gonna mount it by the carbs on the hull as long as there are no clearance issues

I've seen brackets attached to the ebox and also mounted to the tank straps between 2 pc of turf

I mount mine on the handlebars.

Seems bulletproof

Seems legit

Yeah I was thinking about mounting it to my new pump when @Turtle buys my old one

keno · Nov 6, 2015

I like to mount it from behind.

I was thinking of putting a mount on my waterbox but was worried about heat. Probably mount it to the hull beside the carbs.

My thrust mount broke first ride or so. They credited me the cash back but said they stopped making them.
