BOAT WASHDOWN SYSTEM INSTALL | HOW TO 

lol! Yeah I have to fix them quite often.. the tracker factory definitely has some issues and quality control problems.. but keeps me busy and employed ! I work at my local tracker boating center.. at a bass pro shop.. we work on everything... but of course a lot of tracker and tracker warranty! Thanks for watching and commenting..

@@ReelLifeFisherman Love my new-to-me 2015 Targa 18V it's just fixing little stuff constantly - but that's a boat owner's life, right? Really want to add a kicker motor just don't know which direction to go to save money and troll like a pro! Thanks for your videos and any help!

Thanks for watching! Hope you liked it ! You have been getting those shad out there! Looks fun! I really need to get out! Was supposed to hit the bay today.. but had to put my truck in the shop!

@@ReelLifeFisherman 👍

Yes sir! See you this Saturday! Couldn’t make it fishing today had to take my truck to the shop.. should have bought a tundra 😉 thanks for watching bro..

Have the same question. Spilt it off from the live well pump to a hose ?

Awesome! It’s nice to have and the vinyl nice to have and easy to clean up! Thanks for watching the video!

Yeah hope they open all the ramps up real soon to lighten the load on the ones open trying to handle all the crowds! Yeah I try and do a mix of both since I do it for a living.. the tech stuff I mean.. I wish it was the fishing!🤣 thanks for watching man I appreciate it..

Thanks man! Appreciate it ..your boat is tricked out and ready to kill it ..especially come salmon season! The rocket launcher video is next up going to start working on that one next.. thanks for trusting me with the work .. much appreciated ! Tight lines bro

Thanks! And thanks for watching.. I appreciate it!

If you walked a boat manufacturer nothing but 4200 and acetone😂

Thanks I appreciate it! Buddy is my best friend for sure.. he wants to go or do anything I’m doing..

Scott Oleson thanks man! And thanks for watching the video I appreciate it! Tight lines 🎣

Reel Life Fisherman sounds good buddy. Hope yo see you out in the bay one of these days. FYI we follow you on IG as well (we are freedomfishery). You gonna go for buts again soon?

I was supposed to go to the bay yesterday! But my truck acted up on the way home from work Friday.. so had to put it in the shop ! So hopefully I might make it out this upcoming weekend.. probably Sunday.. I have a vhf side job on Saturday as of right now.. you guys have been doing awesome out there! I NEED SOME BUTTS!

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for subscribing! I’m glad you liked it!

Awesome glad you liked the videos! So I’m not sure what brand his is exactly.. but I can ask him.. but it came on his boat when he bought it used.. we typically use the sea choice brand at my work when we put them on.. let me know if you have any questions.. and thanks for watching..

@@ReelLifeFisherman You rock! Thanks for the info. No need to ask your friend. I will start searching for seachoice ladders and get one for the boat! Thanks again!

Thanks bro! I appreciate you watching!

Thanks glad you liked it.. so you want to run the wash down pump and the live well on the same circuit? If so the wash down pump draws way more power then a live well pump and would over load the circuit for sure.. let me know if if you meant something different? Or if you have any more questions.. thanks for watching

@@ReelLifeFisherman I have a similar question. My boat already has a live well, so I figured I could run a T from that pump and just run a new power switch, is that right? Do I need to buy the extra pump or can 1 run both?

Yes it does . It’s called a raw water wash down. It pulls form the water the boat is sitting in. The other one would be called a fresh water wash down and it would come from a on board holding tank.. thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!

Thank you! I appreciate you watching the channel!

Thanks hope it was helpful! And thanks for watching and commenting..

Nice job on the diamond plate face plate.

It’s a butane torch from snap-on it’s the torch 300. Thanks for watching the video!

Thanks man I appreciate it! I’m glad you liked the video! I definitely would have but we moved out to Florida! But I appreciate you watching the video and commenting!

Thanks glad you liked it! Let me know if you ever have any questions..

Thanks man I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’m going to be installing the lenco trim tabs on my boat one of these days.. I have about half the stuff I need .. I’ve installed them on other boats and they do help.. which way does your boat lean? A lot of times it’s kinda normal to lean slightly to the right when on plane alone .. due to the prop rotation..

@@ReelLifeFisherman definitely leans to my side by myself as I am a big guy 😆 🤣 😂

Thanks I appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks! Glad you liked it! And thanks for watching the channel!

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

So for question 1 .. the live well pump wouldn’t put out enough pressure for a wash down.. it would flow some water but not at much pressure..

And for #2 absolutely.. 5200 will work perfectly for that.. thanks for watching man! Hope all is good.. tight lines!

Reel Life Fisherman Thanks for responding, I just meant to tie into the intake hose of the bait tank with a “Y” connector and use a wash down water pump to have require pressure? So I wouldn’t have to drill another hole for the wash down intake!! I hope that clear up my question?

@@danielramos7394 I actually have the same question. The limiting factor is whether you can have suction behind the live well pump and if the would prohibit using both at the same time. If Reel Life knows the answer would be most helpful!

So I have never installed one that way .. but I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work.. the wash down is self priming.. and the live well pump it would be pulling through.. you would have to just make sure the output on the live well had a shutoff .. or it will suck air through there.. personally I would just install the extra through hull.. but that’s me.. I know it’s scary..

It’s a cool set up to have ! Thanks for watching the video..

Could mount it visible in the back but make it a clean install so it wouldn’t be too much of an eye sore or hide it with diamond plate or something if we can’t find anywhere else to mount it..

@@ReelLifeFisherman yeah that would be nice to have

Yeah you’re likely to suck air and possibly burn the pump on plane.. that goes for any live well pump as well..

@@ReelLifeFisherman well. If your live well pump inlet is plumb like your wash down pump all your bait fish will/ Be dead before. You get. To your fishing spot,

Only way you’re getting water in a “bait tank” on plane is with a scoop style pick up.

Glad it was helpful.. thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes sir a 3/4 fitting but the thread for the fitting will require a 1-1/8 to fit .. and I would recommend 12ga or 10ga marine wire .. let me know if you have any questions.. and thanks for watching!

It’s actually a snap on butane torch.. they work great! Thanks for watching

Do you have it properly grounded? And also just making sure your running It I the water and not dry? The intake screen it locked it correctly so the pump is not sucking air?

Yes it’s grounded. Can you explain each wire and where it goes please? ThanksNo@@ReelLifeFisherman

lol! I have a green 400 but it’s too much a flame thrower! I’ve had this one before I went all green.. when it goes out I will get one! lol

So if I understand the question right.. the red from the pump needs to go the the switch.. then the other prong on the switch needs to go to the battery or a fuse block or something for power.. the. The switch will turn the power on and off.. let me know if that helps or if you have any questions.. thanks for watching

No it’s not spreads like cancer!

The only thing that spreads farther is antisieze!

That and roofing tar! lol

You would need a totally different live well pump and plumbing..these style live well pumps have the thru-hull fitting built in as one unit.. also if you do it right there is no need to worry.. I put holes in boats every day.. but I get it.. it can be nerve racking! Thanks for watching

All factory installed wash down on thunder jet and north rivers etc. don’t Have an intake screen.. you can put one on if you like.. but there is a screen on the pump itself.. you also couldn’t run the pump and live well at the same time.. but you’re more then welcome to try it out if you think it’s a better idea.. thanks for watching!

@@ReelLifeFisherman just thoughts....not ripping on you...i enjoy watching your videos and think you do a great job! I don't think it would cause a problem with the livewell fill since its only gonna be used sporadically....i'll be trying it this year on my boat, so if it doesn't work worse case easy to do it your way or just up size the intake to a larger one and tee right at intake so both can pull max water volume easily. Putzing around with boats is just fun anyways.

You can try it please let me know if it works out.. I have always seen them installed this way and that’s the way the factory installed ones are done also.. so that’s why I do them like that.. I don’t want to experiment on a customer boat.. lol . Not sure if when the wash down pump is pressuring up if it would suck air from the open live well pump side.. might require a valve to shut of one side or the other.. but let me know.. I would love to find out.. my thunder jet has a nice factory installed one.. so there was no need for me to try it.. I will be using the forward live well pump I don’t use for a bait tank mounted on my offshore bracket.. thanks for watching the channel

@@ReelLifeFisherman I planned on putting a cheap one way check valve from the livewell feed just before its pump just for that possible problem. It shouldn't be too much rocket science....but I've been wrong many times before so this could just be a little wasted time on my end is all.

@@ReelLifeFisherman K, so I did a little checking around at my local place to get boat stuff and low and behold Attwood makes a aerator pump with dual take-offs....one for the live well and one as an auxiliary for either a normal wash down hose using that pumps pressure or run that directly to another pump for a higher pressure wash down hose. So I guess my idea has already be thought up and implemented. Dang it, I lost out on another million dollar idea.😭

Lol! As bilge holes go this one is not bad! It’s the nasty bilge pissers that are the worst! 🤣 thanks for watching!
