First Boat Inspection - Fixes/Questions

[chriswh86]

Hi everyone,

I just had a boat inspected for me 90' campion allante 185.

Few issues came up.

- Bildge pump not working
- Wipers not working
- No master battery switch

Im looking for information on a ruff cost and ease of replacing these items

Chris,

Ayuh,... Bilge pumps run $50., 'n up... 'bout the same for a battery switch....

Wipers are optional, 'n you can see what's wrong with 'em if you'd like...
I ran the wires for mine 10 years ago, 'n never got around to hookin' 'em up...

if that's all you have you did well. that's the sort of thing that needs attention all the time.

If you don't have 2 batteries you don't need the switch although I recommend them especially for a moored boat.
Bilge pump is essential.
Wipers are not important.

As for cost, it doesn't matter--your shopping list is nothing compared to typical boat expenses. Just fix the items you need and don't worry about cost.
