[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 400202, member: 9169"] I'd suggest using smooth bore hose with as few bends in it as possible as opposed to the corrugated hose that comes with bilge pumps. Looks like the washing machine hose is corrugated. Less bends/angles equal less resistance when pumping water out, same goes with smooth bore hose. I put a hole in my boat 2 summers ago, and quickly found my bilge pump wasn't able to keep up. Added a second bilge pump and changed the hoses out to the smooth bore hose. Very noticeable difference in amount of water pumped out with the smooth bore hose vs corrugated. [/QUOTE]
