[QUOTE="inlovewithsurfin, post: 268922, member: 9011"] well the fitting says "Fits 3/4in hole" but all i had was a 1in hole saw... i held the two up to eachother and finally said "screw it!" and drilled the hole haha... it fits perfectly! i am glad i installed the bilge although after i plugged most of the holes i didnt really have much of a need for a pump! it still leaks but just a tiny bit... so after an hour or so the bilge is kinda needed? i got a 500gph bilge pump from bass pro for $20 and the fitting was $3.99 i think? and i used a piece of rubber hose i had laying around. much cheaper than the $40 kit at walmart! :) [/QUOTE]
