RE: [Paddlewise] Electric Bilge Pumps

I have seen the fitting you describe on pumps in boats with permanent pumps.
A pump with a hose inlet rather than the open inlet on the standard bilge
pump would have to be used.  Rule makes a live well pump that might work,
although I suspect that the live well pump like the bilge pump will need to
be submerged to be primed.

I believe Valley sells a box type fitting for the hose that will remove most
of the water from the bilge. The actual name escapes me at the moment.
