I'm going replace my pumps with two 1500 gph pumps with 1/8th through hulls and add one of the witches for each pump. I"m going to install one higher than the other to create a primary and secondary scenario. I'm also going to install one for a high water alarm.

I have to reroute a bunch of hoses too because the factory did a #^&#^&#^&#^& job, just crammed it all together. I have two live well pumps that are fed off of a "T" that threads into the seacock and there are two heavy hoses resting across both pumps. Just a matter of time before one of the pumps breaks off at the fitting. There are no riser loops in the bilge pump discharge hoses. The discharges are almost at water level and the hoses go directly from the through hulls down to the pumps. When I found my boat full of sea water, I know those discharges were below the water line and I'm sure they were also siphoning in water through the pumps until I turned them on.
