good day everyone. I have been lurking around for a few weeks and this has been a great source of info. This boat is new to me and I know the previous owner liked to tinker so I'm not sure if my setup is completely stock or not.
I want to replace both livewell pumps and bilge pump. The bilge is straightforward to me no worries there, what leaves me a bit worried is...
#1 the forward livewell pump is transom mounted, it has a nasty kink in the hose, based on my picture is this the correct pump orientation? is a 90* pump prescribed here or should I use a strait pump with a 90* elbow coming off the pump.
#2 the pump attached to the Flo-rite valve. I do not know where to start here. I was going to disassemble the pump off the body and take measurements etc but that would mean double the downtime. Anybody swap this out to a cartridge style and if so, any tips I would appreciate it.
