Bilge-B-Dry Stainless Steel Bracket

Secure Your Bilge System with Precision Engineering

Boat owners know the frustration of components shifting in rough waters, especially when it comes to critical bilge setups. The stainless steel hold-down bracket steps in as the reliable solution, designed specifically for low-profile bilge water pickups. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this bracket provides a firm grip that withstands constant exposure to saltwater, moisture, and vibration, ensuring your pickup stays exactly where it belongs.

Unlike flimsy alternatives that rust or bend over time, this bracket offers unmatched durability. It's the perfect add-on for anyone running a streamlined bilge system, preventing clogs or misalignment that could lead to flooding risks during unexpected waves.

Key Features That Stand Out

• Corrosion-Resistant Material: Marine-grade stainless steel laughs off rust, making it ideal for harsh boating environments.
• Low-Profile Design: Fits seamlessly without adding bulk to your bilge area, maintaining that clean, efficient setup.
• Easy Installation: Simple bolt-on design requires minimal tools, so you can secure it during routine maintenance.
• Universal Fit: Tailored for low-profile bilge pickups, ensuring compatibility across common marine applications.
• Single Bracket per Order: Focused quality for targeted reinforcement where you need it most.

Why Boaters Trust This Hold-Down Bracket

In the world of boating, reliability isn't optional—it's essential. This bracket eliminates the wiggle room in your bilge pickup, promoting consistent water flow to your pump and reducing the chance of air locks or debris buildup. Imagine smoother operation on long offshore trips or choppy inland lakes, where every second counts.

Stainless steel's natural strength means it handles impacts from gear shifts or heavy seas without deforming. Over time, it saves you from costly replacements and downtime, proving its worth season after season. Pair it with your existing low-profile pickup for a setup that's as tough as your adventures.

Installation Tips for Optimal Performance

Getting this bracket mounted is straightforward, but a few pro tips make it foolproof:

1. Locate your low-profile bilge pickup and clean the mounting surface thoroughly to remove slime or residue.
2. Position the bracket over the pickup's base, aligning holes precisely for secure bolting.
3. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners (not included) to thread through, tightening just enough to compress without cracking fiberglass.
4. Test by running water through the system—listen for solid contact and smooth flow.
5. Inspect seasonally, especially after winter storage, to catch any loosening early.

Pro tip: Apply a marine sealant around bolt holes for extra waterproofing in high-humidity bilges.

Common Applications and Real-World Use

From center-console fishing boats to sleek cruisers, this bracket shines in setups prioritizing space and performance. It's a go-to for retrofit jobs on older vessels or custom installs where stock hold-downs fall short. Anglers appreciate how it keeps pickups stable during baitwell drainage, while cruisers value the peace of mind against bilge pump failures mid-voyage.
