First off, I have a 14 ft Duroboat (aluminum boat of course).
i'm working on a live well setup and i've decided to go ahead and drill a hole in the transom area for my livewell pump
I have one of these..
i also have of one these pumps I am going to use.
So my questions.
1) Is this polyurethane/plastic through hull/transom piece ok to use? Or should I be using one of those bronze fittings (just read about these through my internet research, and I assume it's for the bigger boats)?
2) The pump says it can be mounted through the transom, I dont think I wnt to do that in case it breaks or what not, your thoughts?
My plan was to drill the hole and use the plastic through hull/transom fitting and seal with the 3M stuff everyone's mentioned.
Then i'd like to have a ball valve (from home depot) sit between the fitting and the pump. Then then pump wld run to the livewell (igloo cooler) sitting in the front of the boat.
thanks for any advice/recommendations.
