What should I use to mount my bilge pump? Epoxy? Liquid nails?

I'll give that a try and let you know how it works out.


I know it's probably a dumb question. I just wanted to know the best stuff to use.

I think it's a great question. I was just being silly. I'm curious myself. Everything I use seems to come loose.

I mounted a new one last season with regular clear silicone. It's not the strongest but nothing hits it.... Holding well so far.

i drilled a few holes into the bottom of the blue clip and then i used thickened epoxy to affix it to the bottom at the lowest point of the bilge in the rear.  i could pick the boat up from it i bet.

I bought a piece of aluminum flat stock from Home Depot and made an L bracket. Secured one end to the lowest transom adapter bolt and the other to the bottom of the pump.

If it is one with a removable cartridge, use sea going epoxy and be done with it.  If it ever dies, just change the cartridge and you're back in business.

I used a dab of liquid nails... find the sweet spot take the bottom off and let it sit over night.

Been using a hot glue gun for going on twenty years....

Scotch Brite and lacquer thinner to clean it, big dollop of hot glue, push the base down, hold for ten seconds, click the pump on, go boating..

Holds very well, all you need to remove it is a heat gun....

i dont know :- i never mount them :screwy:
I hardly ever see them mounted in any way....
They usual do a pretty good job of bouncing their way into the right spot on there own.
The couple I have seen mounted are usually just glued down.
