My pump-outs were just pumping down the transom. I found an old hose that I had replaced on my wifes washing machine water supply. Cut two pieces 1in long. Pushed one down each pump-out discharge opening at the transom. Wow what a difference. Pumps out about 3ft now. Hose is black so you can't notice it in there. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif
