Has anyone installed a thru the hull discharge for bilge pump on a 18 ' Outrage? My Outrage is a 1989 and my discharge hose dumps into the splash well.
I think a thru the hull discharge on the starboard side would look better and be a better place to discharge.
I installed one on a 17' Outrage. I used a recessed plastic 'cup' like the fuel tank vent uses to recess it into the inside of the hull.
I did the mod a long time ago and the plastic part for the vent line was still available from Whaler. I'm not sure if it or something similar is still available.
I recently redid the tank cover floor (replaced the plywood and refibreglassed etc.) and the fuel tank. I shortened the tank and placed a Rule 500 in the new sump area, second pump is an Atwood S500 automatic. If you look at my personal page you can see the thru-hulls I installed. I did away with the foam as you can see, replacing the aluminum straps with stainless and welded tabs that bolt to the tank both for and aft. I secured 3/4 inch neoprene strips to the underside of the tank with 5200 to allow water to move freely. The thru-hulls are Conbraco Long bronze thru-hulls,I got them from Discount Marine on line. I had to cut a little off maybe 3/4 of an inch or so. I used a hole saw for the holes, drill from the outside and make sure you're perpendicular when drilling so the outer flange will lay flush, I learned this from the first one I drilled, had a little adjusting with it. The second one went wham bam.
