In my recent baidarkas, I did not install any hoses; the pump reaches from the bottom to the deck to minimize the considerable additional friction. Shortest hose possible. The idea of a couple of bends sounds frightening :)) *********** You are right that every inch of hose counts and that multiple bends will make a big difference in the resistance to flow. However, the pump is rated for about 900 GPH at 3 feet of water head pressure. Even with the bends I should be able to pump at a higher rate than I can pump by hand.
