I am installing several new bilge pumps in my boat. Originally it had 2 Rule 2400's. One in the port engine bay bilge and one starboard engine bay bilge area. They went to some contraption that was also the kitchen sink drain, then through an above-water thru-hull. Both used cheap bilge hose.
I am replacing those with Seaflo low narrow profile 1100 GPHs, along with Seaflo's 4700GPHs pumps. The larger flow will be the mid-water pumps. There will also be a 6600GPH AC sump pump for high water in each location controlled with a 12vdc float switch.
For my aft cabin space, it will be the Seaflow narrow profile 1100GPH, one Seaflo 4700GPH, and one 5400GPH AC Sump pump, controlled with a 12vdc float switch.
For my bow bilge space, it will be the Seaflow narrow profile 1100GPH, one Seaflo 4700GPH, and one 6600GPH AC Sump pump(maybe 2), controlled with a 12vdc float switch.
For my midship bilge space, it will be the Seaflow narrow profile 1100GPH, and two 6600GPH AC Sump pumps, controlled with a 12vdc float switch.
I have tried to figure out if there is a bilge pump exit water manifold system I could use, but have not found any info. If anyone here has any ideas, I would appreciate them, or I will be putting in a bunch of new thru-hulls.
In addition, I have been looking at what type of tubing to use, and am looking at either Tigerflex, PVC pool line, or using PVC SCH80 pipe for the long runs and connecting to the pumps and the thru-hulls with flexible pipe.
Was wondering if there is a preferred, or better, way.
Outputs on pumps are 1.5", is that sufficient size for the hose ID as well?
Thru-hulls will be about 14" above the water line. AC sump pumps are Ridgid 1HP.
