Rafael need to fix ours too so i will have him watch this.

Davey I spent 35 years dealing with minor and major issues as Yacht Captain. I enjoy your versatility in your abilities. But to be perfectly honest. I watch every week to see Erica. Glad you are so intense, the time I spend with my uselessness watching and yes having impure thoughts with Erica. I have said it.

That switch is the most commonly installed switch in the world. They are everywhere! Microwave doors, sailboat starter loockouts, pumps…you name it!

I’ve used a split tube 5 minute epoxy before. Just has to be super clean and a thin application. Isn’t it so rewarding when something like this works out? Sourcing parts from a different supplier can save a bunch of money sometimes. Love when that works. Kind of like a handyman’s corner episode. 👍👍

i use super glue on trim motors for boats sand iside and nagnet acetone both well and glue in

Dave’s, I have used the original JB Weld 2 part epoxy to repair just about everything including a crack in the water jacket of the exhaust manifold on the inboard outboard engine in the boat. Boaters best friend.

JB Weld for sure . Clean up the metal and magnet surfaces first . They will never come off !

In my gallery on my albin 25 I use a very efficient footpump which pumps on the downward stroke as well as the upward stroke using your foot. My pump system has been operational for at least 25 to 30 years no problems

Great information!! Thanks 😊

I agree,5 minute epoxy. I've used it in that application before.👍

I've used 5 minute epoxy for this exact same repair, it's been holding up for the last 6 months. Heat hasn't been an issue so far, these pumps don't get hot in normal use because they don't stay on continuously unless you run out of water and let them run dry for too long. If you have water in the motor, it's a good sign there are cracks in the diaphragm. There are tons of different brands and models of microswitch, I went with the heaviest amp rating I could find (25A), I figure the larger contacts will have a longer life. Honeywell and Omron are good brands. Slow leaks in your pluming are the worst for switches because they cause rapid cycling, especially if you don't have a pressure tank. I use CorrosionX Heavy Duty on everything. I prefer it to dielectric grease since it supposedly has some magic stuff in there that spreads out and makes a oil film even on metal that didn't have it directly applied.

Ummm bubble gum? The baseball grape flavour one should do 😂 Great job as always guys!

Great job Davy! I think as a cruiser you need to have these skills. Thanks for the hack! 🍻

Testament to the utility of installing a foot pump as back up to the powered water delivery system. You'll be able to drink, wash and cook even if the electric system fails completely...For $20 US, you can get a 'Horsmile Foot Water Pump'. You don't need the $75 model for just a 'back up', and it's nice and quiet to use when others are sleeping... While you're opening everything up, slather all corrosion prone areas with dielectric grease, also, put an 'on-off' switch in line on the positive end of that 12 volt extension cord. Just dropping a wrench across the terminals can result in a melt down... And try to mount the units with the motor above the pump, I learned long ago, the totality of plumbing was 'Hot on Left, Cold on Right, Water (poop) Runs Downhill'... 🐕

Great repair job. Epoxy glue for the permanent magnet. Also silicon grease for moisture displacement when reassembling your electrical parts. It helps with corrosion. Get a large tube of it. Use it on all of your electrical mechanical connections ie batteries. Like your channel.

That was super informative, thanks Davey!

Use epoxy to glue the magnet 🧲 whatever you have on hand should work fine, just thicken it up a bit with some fumed silica

Same part that I bought off of Amazon to fix my microwave. It is the switch that does not let you run the microwave with the door open. It failed, and so it thought that the door was closed all the time. So it would run with the door open. Replace the switch and good as new. Always cheaper if you have a little technical ability.

Just found your channel, great info ….I need to fix my water pump also……subbed and liked!

Thankyou for the tip

You should be able to get replacement bearings for the armature. Short of the coil "shorting" out, having extra bearings and brushes should keep you going indefinitely!

I used Super Glue on my CNC router motor as a temporary fix. That was 3 years ago and it is still working fine.

great money saving hack... love that black top...

JB Weld marineglue - what else?

maybe JB weld for the magnets. would have to be really cleaned well.

Did someone say crack on! Cheers.

Those sealed bearings... New ones are cheap but if you got to use the rusted ones, you can pop off the seal and force some grease in there. The light weight oil you used won't work for long! Epoxy will bond to steel fairly well.

Davey, on things like that I like to use E6000 glue.

Jb weld, make sure your magnets are 180 degrees apart

Are you giving any inside tour soon in your future episode....?

J B weld to glue in magnets

Metal glues of the super glue family are best unless you have constant moisture, which you do. Second best are epoxy based products and those can stand moisture, so I suggest that.

you should liberally coat the pressure switch with silicone dielectric. It will keep it from corroding and more importantly repel water. Also that bearing does not sound good. They should be almost silent. I possible i recommend getting a replacement.

Hi Guys just made it to the Caribbean, in Grenada now. What I did with my pump after the new switch went bad, didn’t see any water, I installed a relay so that all the current goes through that and not the switch, that pump draws a lot.

JB weld used it on an atv winch motor magnet , lasted for years

Very good 👍😊😁👍🇬🇧👍

Hi Davey, Erica, I've just googled magnet glue and the best so far is epoxy resin or gel coat locktite superglue blue sticker. Good luck, I've also subscribed because I'm really impressed and enjoy both ur let's do it attitude. 🇦🇺💜😉

What do you do with engine / pump or work area towels? To keep areas clean

Bearing sounds ok? Must sound much different in person

JB Weld / JB Quick

Sodium silicate works very well as a high temperature glue which is probably what you want with a motor that will get hot. Heat and epoxy aren't a great combination.

Those bearings sounded trashed to me

They use a two part resent and if there i water getting into the motor the O ring seal is bad and needs to be replaced the one jut in front of the bearing

$5 to fix and the $30 saved goes towards adult beverages 😎🥂🍾🥥🌴

Let us know what you think!

Some kind of epoxy or superglue but that can handle heat!! Need to find a way to stop moisture of getting in!

LoL, That bearing is junk. Not ok.😂😂

5 min epoxy. I know you have some epoxy. Will last forever

Super glue . IF it's clean. That's what it was developed for. Gluing metals .

Glue it in with some 5200.

Crack on shorty

get a composting toilet and you wont have more issues. wont cost 5 dollars up front though.
