I wish I could get below deck like you do. I like what you did with the bilge pump. Very creative. Our Oday 25 had a battery and a piece of Romex 14-2 going to a bilge pump attached with wire nuts , lol. That is all it had for wiring . The pump was located in the hole next to the center board rope. I have since widened the hole and installed two pumps. One normal and one for high water with a alarm. If I redo them someday , I may go with a gulper like yours under the floor.

Thanks for making these videos . I bought an Oday 25 2 years ago and I have yet to sail her yet . I have a lot of the same projects to tackle .

Your welcome Miles. I underestimated the amount of projects it would take to make it ship shape again. I have owned her a little over a year and sailed her twice. All the hard work is paying off now. I learned a lot by doing all these projects, and from viewer comments. Hope you get yours sailing soon. Keep looking up : )

Nice job! Your bilge through holes are much much bigger than mine. I can barely get a finger through, let alone a hose. Any harm in drilling them wider?

Yes there are very small 1/4" holes between the bilge to under galley sink then to rear lazarette under the cockpit area, and also going forward under the v-berth. I drilled them out a little larger to maybe 1/2" or 5/8" holes for better water flowage into the bilge. You could make them as big as you want though, it shouldn't cause any problems that I know of. The holes I drilled for the new bilge pump hose were through the bulkhead under the bottom step area, and then under the starboard settee storage area, as shown in the video. These holes have no flowage of water to bilge they are just to route the new bilge hose to the back of the boat. Thanks for watching! Hope this helps.

when you use thickened epoxy to attach plastic (e.g. your float switch sensor) or metal (aluminum bracket for the pump) do you do anything special (sanding etc) to the parts?

Yes, I cleaned the bilge bottom with acetone for the water sensor. The plastic and metal parts I usually rough up with 80 or 100 grit sandpaper, so the epoxy can grab it better. 🙂

Thanks for the interesting video! How are you going to remove the pump from the metal strip, when it needs servicing or to be replaced? as I see it, the screws are unaccessable. Another thing - 2:48 Are you sure the switch is labelled correctly in the circuit diagram? Either I am misreading it or "man" and "auto" are mixed up.

Thanks for watching Nele! Astute observation. I thought about the inaccessible screw thing also when I installed it. I will have to cut the metal strip with a grinder to get the pump out if it fails, then epoxy another one in. The pump wiring worked and is correct on the boat. I think the schematic is correct. It's just that the terminals on the back of the 3 position switch are opposite directions from the label on top because of the inner working of the switch.

If you get a lot of water in , I would find out from where. All of mine was rain water. It rotted everything.

I stopped a lot of leaking in the v-birth when I removed the pulpit and rebedded the mounts with butyl tape. Still getting some leaking I think from stanchion mounts, and possibly some deck to hull screws in various places. I will find out more of where they are the more I sail the boat, and the more I am in it when it rains.
