[Paddlewise] pump my ride

Based on the photo of your battery pack, it looks like you are running a
12 volt pump with a less than eight volt power pack. That will greatly
reduce the pump capacity.  The pump will probably take normal 12 volt
lead acid battery voltage of 14.4 volts without burnout problems.
Increasing your power supply voltage will have more effect on the pump
flow rate than marginal increases in flow due to changes in flow
resistance in the hose and outlet fittings.
