A lot has been said about the noise level of the S1000 pump. Many people who apparently never heard it are considering going to substantial cost/expense to add longer hyd. fluid lines such that it could be mounted in the back of the boat rather than by the helm based apon what they've heard.
I thought I'd post a short film that gives a first hand listen to the sound level to aid anyone in making this decision (without opinion).
I'm certainly not the greatest at this but I posted this on youtube.com under S1000 noise level. The clicks are the pump sounds. The beeps are the send signals from the handheld remote. This is in the driveway without the motor running and just the background Freeway noise.
