4 years and counting and never been a problem. Maybe if someone took a sledgehammer and smashed this, but the outlet is still about 6 or 7 inches above the water.

What I like about this, it makes the turn up, so the hose lays flat against the inner hull which keeps the hose out of the way. And no hose clamp to worry about. After I glued this in, I could not budge it, solidly attached. You could sand the plastic which gives the polyurethane even more grip. Its not coming apart ever, the wood would have to rot first.
