I've created an easy to use, super-fast bilge pump installation kit compatible with Hobie 8" Twist & Seal hatches. You can install a bilge pump and float switch in minutes without drilling holes and without using any glue or adhesives. With my mount, you can easily move the bilge pump to a different hatch or a different boat in minutes. The kit is designed to be used with specific bilge pumps and float switches so check with me before ordering your pump and switch. A detailed, simple to follow installation guide is included, along with a suggested materials list for additional materials you might need, like a discharge hose, thru-hull, battery, etc. The kit sells for $85 plus shipping, payable by PayPal or Venmo. We will work together to select a shipping option that meets your needs before payment. You can contact me at [email protected] or 719-499-0647. Thanks. Tom |

Not sure you will get much interest without a photo and more details (like is hatch and space beneath still usable, does it require a set distance or range between hatch and bottom...). Since it requires a specific float and pump, suggest your kit include those items as well as the other bits you noted. This "kit" seems to requires a lot of additional parts making it hard to understand what it actually contains. Peter |

This "kit" seems to requires a lot of additional parts making it hard to understand what it actually contains. Peter I apologize for not responding earlier to your question. Someone just mentioned to me that there was a question on this forum I hadn't responded to. I very rarely go on this forum and spend most of my time and energy on Facebook Hobie forums. I have no plans to include the bilge pump and float switch with my kit. I'm just a retired dude, not a business. The kit works with common Rule pumps that you can easily obtain locally or online. If I have to order them myself, I have to cover the additional shipping and tax to me, adding to the cost of the install. But I can sympathize with what you're asking. I just don't want to go to that level and have to carry inventory, track and pay taxes in various states and countries, file for tax-exempt status, deal with even more tariff B.S., etc. Anyone doing this install still needs to purchase a battery, waterproof box, bilge pump hose, discharge thru-hull, drill into their boat for the thru-hull, etc. Overall, it's a fairly involved project. My little kit just makes for a quick, effortless and robust way to install the pump itself, considering there aren't a lot of sturdy ways to install it in a plastic kayak, at least not sturdy enough to withstand smashing around in the ocean.
