What does this mount to? Where do you put the float? Im confused.

The float attaches to the top of the pump. Remove one of the screws, attach the float cord about 6" up from bulb to the screw you removed with a plastic 'U' clamp. then wire tie the loose cord to the pump cord with wire ties every foot up the cord to the plugs.

Do you mean the clip? It goes around the cord and hold the float the correct length you need. It goes back to the same place the old float was attached. If you put the old and NEW float side by side put the new clip at same spot on the NEW float as the old. If you can't find where it was bolted to you can take the bolt out that is holding the other cord and bolt both together.

it is hard to say with out seeing what you are useing it for . on a sump pump you tie wrap it to the pipe or pump so it will hang down as the water rises the float will turn up and the pump will start and lower the water level

Ty Rap the switch to the pump pipe and adjust the free float to control the level

I used a zip-tie you can just about mount it to anything as long as there is room for it to float up without getting caught

I guess you could. But I don't recommend this float. Too many issues, and mine didn't last.

Don't know. I have never tried to float it. I use it at the pool, beach and hot tub. To protect it from the water.

Plastic mounts are screwed to the side rail of the boat. Then the plastic pieces at the bottom of the mounting poles attach to those and are held by a bolt and nut

I went down and measured the best I could with the pump assembly underwater and a little hard to access. I would say you need a diameter of at least 12 inches to accommodate the side that has the float attached. That should allow it to freely move up and down.

You need something floating above the water. A dock, a boat... etc. If you sink with it you have to swim with it back to something that floats on its own.

You should be able to rig it however you like. The floats are attached by suction cups.

Thank you David. I haven't completely figured out where I want to put it on the pontoon. How well is the unit watertight? If the unit was mounted close to the water do you think it would get any water inside? Thanks again.

Barry, I did this last year so my memory may be faulty. It is bolted to the bottom of the carb. It actually holds the float bowl to the base of the carb. Are you sure you have the correct part for your carb?

I put mine on a free floated tube by drilling hole in tube and mounting it, and it works fine. that is the best I can do for you. sorry, and good luck

Send it back. The hole just gets bigger. I had this happen to another mesh float. I had to throw it out.

The float raises a rod that makes a switch on the top cover when the water level is high enough. The Float moves up but only slightly. Sometimes it can get misaligned and not work properly. If you have filled it with water and it doesn't run push down on the top cover on the right side. If the unit comes on then the rod is not moving up and down properly. For those of you whose units do not shut off when empty also check the alignment of the rod and make sure it moves freely.

To get the water out of the bottom you tip the float over. It's a blow up float, not heavy.

If possible I would replace the entire assembly since it is inexpensive fix .so maybe the float is stuck

The float needs to float so don't weigh it down. As the float rises with the water level it engages a switch which turns the pump on. My pump sits in a 5 gallon bucket (in a hole) with many 1/2 inch holes drilled into it to allow the water in. I place 2 bricks on the bottom of the bucket then the pump on top of the bricks. The bricks help to keep debris from entering the pump. Keep in mind that this pump "lives" under water. I suggest an anti siphon valve (5 dollars) so once the pump is done pumping the water does not flow back into the hole......hope this helps.

This is meant to stay buoyant in the water. It will float to the surface if dropped. Please let us know if there is anything else that you may need.

It can be used as a dash mount or you can buy a mount and mount it on top of the dash. I flush mounted mine to a pice of starboard on my dash and it looks great
