That's cool, thanks for sharing! Remember, you're just one cast away...

How did you connect the hose to the thru hull? Did you use the existing hose or drill a new thru hull?

[@FishOutLoud]

Great question! If you take a closer look, you will see where I drilled the hole(see white) It would take the water out to the back splash and then out the hole which was already there. I hope that makes sense. Let me know. Remember, you’re just one cast away…

@@FishOutLoud I see it now. Thanks for the reply. I have the exact same boat (2004 model)

​@@PatRox-j2k - Hi Pat, That's awesome. It's a great boat! And Year! Remember, you're just one cast away...

Do you have the measurements for the metal plate? Have the same boat and doing your setup :) thanks

[@FishOutLoud]

Hey Johnny, thanks for reaching out. I don't remember the size and I truly apologize. I don't have the boat anymore to go out and give you a measurement. However, I remember taking the measurement starting with the size of the bilge, then at the bend how high it goes up, then the bend where I screwed it down. I took it to a welding /shop/person who made the bends. I hope that helps. I'm excited to hear how it turns. You're just one cast away...
