You can get it off amazon.com or at your local grainger, you might pass out when you find out how much the gun, adhesive, plunger and tips cost....especially when you only need just a tiny bit of adhesive...but when you flip that switch and the water starts shoot'n out... it's worth it to me at least...

Thanks. I figure I'll use it for my wet mount box for the FF transducer as well.

Thanks for the link bro! By the way that bilge pump has a built in check valve it it! Read the description in the link below. So having an additional check valve on the hose make it that much more reliable and safer!

No, the pump does not have a built in check valve. Read it again. You must install a check valve, or else you risk taking on water thru the fitting! Don't skip the check valve! You need it.

you are absolutely right! I read it wrong. This is the part number it calls for. Kind of big in my opinion, I like the one you used much better.

It's actually the right part the LV1219 the 3/4", but the wrong picture, the picture is of the LV1215 the 1 1/2 " model.

I'd also shove a rubber stopper in that thru hull when not using the bildge. Nothings fail proof.

Great Info ful-rac! I was the one who took on a lot of water on Thursday via a hole in the scupper. I like the setup, thanks for sharing.

Question: I have a ff battery 12v do you need another battery for this one or did you rut it to your ff?
