[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 296553, member: 10361"] I've got the factory Seadoo dual pickups that were mounted right behind the PTO on either side of the tunnel. I moved them further back which will help alot. With the Seadoo hull splitting the hull down the middle, water would take three paths. Port, center, and starboard. The Jon boat drain plug is on the starboard side, so I put my 800 gph 12v on port side leaving the siphon pickups center. So I had water from both sides that never got near the siphon pickups. I simply sealed off both sides so any water taken on in front of the deck would be forced to drain to the center and to the siphons. If I end up taking on enough water to put the 800 to work, then that is when it would be worth it's weight in gold. I hope I never have to use it. I'll get some pics of how it's set up soon, too many things going on and forgot. These boats are certainly unique, I'm really surprised a company hasn't produced something similar. There definitely seems to be a market for something like it. But then again, maybe not, most of the people who I've talked to that wanted one, couldn't afford one anyhow. Doesn't hurt my feelings though, I like being the only one around with a Jet Jon. lol :lol: [/QUOTE]
