WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000 John: Again this is the diagram that Mike and Bert came up with for the way 2 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.500 that we're going to be plumbing in our livewell today here at Ship Shape TV. 3 00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:10.500 And there are many ways that you guys 4 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.300 can choose to do this project. 5 00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:14.300 But what I've done is I've invited a very 6 00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:16.300 dear friend of mine to join me today. 7 00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:18.300 Whose right over here. This is Richard Cozier. 8 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.300 Good to see you. And Richard 9 00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:22.300 is with the world 10 00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:26.100 leading company in marine hardware I'm talking about Perko. 11 00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:28.100 And, the guys 12 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:32.200 have requested a three quarter inlet of water. 13 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.900 We've got to be able to pump water into 14 00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:36.900 our new livewell and Richard what are 15 00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:38.900 going to use to take seawater 16 00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:40.900 from the outside of the boat and pump 17 00:00:40.900 --> 00:00:42.900 it into a livewell. 18 00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:44.900 Richard: John there's a couple of different options. 19 00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:46.900 You can use either a scoop strainer with a 20 00:00:46.900 --> 00:00:49.300 thru hull attached to it. But Bert's requested 21 00:00:49.300 --> 00:00:52.100 to go with our inline scoop strainer and 22 00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:54.100 fitting that is built in one. 23 00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:56.300 John: What is this actual material right here? 24 00:00:56.300 --> 00:00:57.800 Richard: It's made out of bronze. 25 00:00:57.800 --> 00:00:58.600 John: Which is what? 26 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.600 Richard: It's basically an alloy made up of 27 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.600 brass, nickel and copper. 28 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.600 John: And this has been proven for 29 00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:07.200 for hundreds of years to really hold up well 30 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.200 in an marine environment. And why is it 31 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.200 so far superior to plastic fittings? 32 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.000 Richard: The main advantage to it is 33 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.700 it's strength but it's also very corrosive resistant. 34 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.500 Even though, and it 35 00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:22.000 doesn't have any UV kit characteristics 36 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.800 that plastic would have. 37 00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:25.800 John: Now let's start here with 38 00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:27.800 installing this. What we have to do is 39 00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:30.600 we have to drill a hole in the bottom of the Pursuit. 40 00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:32.600 And we want to face the scoop 41 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.000 So that as we're going forward 42 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.000 it's going to force water through the scoop, 43 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.000 which is also a strainer it keeps out seagrass. 44 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.800 And - 45 00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:42.800 we want to make sure that we seal it. 46 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.400 And so what we wanna do is wanna put a 47 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.200 big thick bead of polyurethane adhesive 48 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.200 on the base of this. 49 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.000 And it's held in with four 50 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.800 self tapping screws that you also want to use polyurethane adhesive on. 51 00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:58.200 And then on the inside of this 52 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.400 flange if you will. Or this 53 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.400 what do you call this? Threaded pipe. 54 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.300 You want to put a big thick bead of polyurethane adhesive. 55 00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:07.300 And you bring down your lock nut 56 00:02:07.300 --> 00:02:10.300 where it's just past finger tight and you get a little bit of squeeze. 57 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.900 And then wait about 24 hours for it to cure. 58 00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:16.100 And then you come back and you can really 59 00:02:16.100 --> 00:02:18.100 lock that down and that's going to give you 60 00:02:18.100 --> 00:02:20.100 a real nice gasket that's selaed. 61 00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:22.500 What are we going to put as some type of a 62 00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:24.500 shutoff on top of this fitting? 63 00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:26.500 Richard: John you're gong to use a inline ball valve 64 00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:28.800 John: Okay, and if you notice 65 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.100 this going vertical that indicates 66 00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:33.600 that water is able to flow through. 67 00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:37.600 If we turn it 90 degrees it's going to shut water off in an emergency. 68 00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:39.600 Now on top of 69 00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:41.600 what we're using - the ball valve. 70 00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:43.600 Bert and Mike have opted 71 00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:47.400 for a Rule 360 gallon per hour pump. 72 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.400 And we're going to wire this 73 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.800 into a battery, a 12 volt battery. 74 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.800 As well as we want a real good 75 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.200 accessible spot of the boat for a switch. 76 00:02:56.200 --> 00:02:58.500 So we can just hit that switch and we can 77 00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:01.700 start pumping water into our livewell. 78 00:03:01.700 --> 00:03:04.700 But coming out of this pump we're going to use three quarter inch lining. 79 00:03:04.700 --> 00:03:06.900 Tell everybody about what they need to know 80 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:08.500 about the marine hose. 81 00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:10.500 Richard: John you want to make sure that the hose is a 82 00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:12.500 marine quality, certified 83 00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:14.500 for use below the water line. 84 00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.300 And you want to make sure that all of your hose runs 85 00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.300 have no sagging or 86 00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:21.800 dips in them that would possibly create an airlock. 87 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.800 John: Bert really wanted to be able 88 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.800 to adjust the water flow going into the livewell. 89 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.400 So he choose this piece right here. 90 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.200 This is an air raider and it allows us 91 00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:34.200 to adjust the water pressure and that controls 92 00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:36.600 the adjust of oxygen which is really cool. 93 00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:39.000 Now in a livewell, you've got an intake 94 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.000 and you also have an outflow. Okay? 95 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.500 You want to make sure that your outflow is larger than the water coming in. 96 00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:48.100 You want to circulate the water. 97 00:03:48.100 --> 00:03:51.100 As your bait is down in there you don't want your bait to die. 98 00:03:51.100 --> 00:03:53.100 You know if they're 99 00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:55.100 pooping and peeing or whatever 100 00:03:55.100 --> 00:03:56.700 you always want clean water. 101 00:03:56.700 --> 00:04:00.100 So what diameter are we going to go with our exhaust? 102 00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:03.700 Richard: John y'all have choosen to go out with an inch and a half diameter. 103 00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:05.700 And we're going to use a 104 00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:07.800 another strainer, but it's a round strainer 105 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.800 that's going to mount on the inside of the livewell. 106 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:10.600 John: Okay. 107 00:04:10.600 --> 00:04:12.400 Richard: And from that you going to have the 108 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.200 thru-hull that comes up and butts into back of the surface along these lines. 109 00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:20.600 John: Now we want to run inch and a half hose to a thru hull. 110 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.600 And Bert has selected a spot on 111 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.400 the transom of the boat below our engine bracket for that. 112 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:28.400 But it's very important that you 113 00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:30.400 have an emergency shut off inline. 114 00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:33.400 And again, we're going to be using a ball valve for this. 115 00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:34.100 Richard: Correct. 116 00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:36.100 John: Okay now guys there's a lot of different ways 117 00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:38.100 to plumb in a livewell. 118 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:40.100 And Perko makes a lot of the components 119 00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:42.100 that you're going to need for your shopping list. 120 00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:44.500 And could you give everybody a real great 121 00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:46.500 way to kind of assemble this list 122 00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:49.300 of everything they would need to have for this project? 123 00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:51.500 Richard: John, Perko makes over two thousand different items 124 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:53.500 with about five thousand different SKU's. 125 00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:55.500 So our website is a very good 126 00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.500 resource at perko.com. 127 00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:01.300 You go there and can look through all the different products we manufacture. 128 00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:03.300 As well as being able to use our 129 00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:04.900 "Where to Buy" mechanism. 130 00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:06.900 That allows you to put your zip code in 131 00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:09.500 and be to find your closest marine retailer to you. 132 00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:11.500 Narrator: Stay bolted! 133 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:14.500 Ship Shape TV will be back in a snap!
