INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
-
STEP 1
-
To begin the installation process, first remove the factory installed live well outlet cover by removing the 2x Torx screws indicated by the red arrows below.
Be sure to use the correct sized Torx bit and hand tools only, these may be tight from factory.
-
The image above already has the bilge outlet installed, the factory cover will only have the live well quick connect hose connection.
Next you will remove the factory hose clamp on the live well hose, attached to the cover.
-
-
STEP 2
-
After loosening the hose clamp, gently remove the factory hose from the outlet.
Do not use excessive force to remove this hose.
Once you have removed the factory cover from your Ski, it is time to prepare the tools and hardware listed above to complete the install.
Using the drilling template provided in your kit, align the template over the factory quick connect hose fitting, ensuring the shaped edge aligns with the profile of the cover as pictured below
-
-
While holding the template securely in place, carefully drill the pilot hole using the supplied drill bit through alignment hole in the template arrowed above.
-
After drilling the pilot hole, remove the drilling template and using the 20mm step drill provided, carefully drill a 20mm hole through the cover, aligning the step drill with the pilot hole drilled previously.
-
-
STEP 3
-
You are now ready to install the outer part of the outlet fitting.
The new V2 mount is threaded. The outer half with hexagonal profile on the inside threads into the inner half with the hose attached. Using the 3D printed hex wrench, install the shaped ring to the outer half of the outlet and assemble as per the below images. Making sure to align the angle with the cover.

STEP 4
-
The included wedge mount is designed for use with the SeaFlo SFBP1-G1100-14A low profile pump. The wedge is designed to install the pump in front of the auxiliary battery in the FishPro Trophy as pictured below.
-
Start by installing the wedge to the pump as pictured below, using the supplied stainless steel screws.
Do not over-tighten the screws into the plastic, these are designed to lightly hold the pump in place, it is not necessary to over-tighten these screws.
-
-
Ensure the bilge of your ski is clean and free from oils or other contaminants.
The surface should be dry and clean BEFORE proceeding below.
We recommend using:
-
STEP 5
-
Using the SikaFlex Marine adhesive, apply a bead to the underside of the wedge, ensuring coverage of the entire underside.
You can now install the pump into the ski by gently moving the cooling hoses aside and dropping the pump down between. You can use a large cable tie to hold the factory hoses to one side while you mount the pump if needed. The wedge should locate the pump perfectly level and oriented in the correct place, just ahead of the factory scupper hoses as indicated by the arrow in the below photo.
When securing the pump, the pickup should remain just above the bilge of the ski to allow the filter cover to be removed if needed for cleaning. The clearance to the bilge should be the same distance as the picture above, with the pump mounted to the wedge and sitting on a level surface.

The below images show the recommended route for the bilge hose.

NOTE: In some cases it may be necessary to enlarge the hole slightly using a file or suitable grinding bit on a Dremel tool or similar. These holes are hand cut in the factory and not all of them are exactly the same size. Do not exceed the size of the rubber gasket as this is not required.
You are now ready to install the cover back onto your watercraft.
Replace the factory live well hose onto the cover and secure with 2x cable ties as below.
NOTE: The new Water Dragon outlet will not fit through the factory opening in the hull of you use the hose clamp on the love well pipe, cable ties are more than enough to hold the hose to the outlet if appropriately fastened.
Adding an additional cable tie securing the 2x hoses together will provide additional support.

-
STEP 7
-
The final step is to feed the hoses back into the ski and install the cover back in place.
Do not force the hoses back into the ski, if they are getting caught, ensure the cable tie ends are facing towards the inside and gently squeeze the hoses as you push them back through the hole in the hull, this will allow more space for the cable ties to pass through.
-
Finish by re-installing the 2x Torx screws and enjoy your new Water Dragon V2 Outlet.
