[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 400204, member: 15636"] Yes, corrugated hoses degrade output a good 10+%or more. Adding to it that the pumps are rated with nominal supplied voltages of 12.6 VDC, friction from any heights one needs to lift the water, resistance from hoses and or 90-degree fittings and a brand new pump can work only at 66 to 85% of its rated capacity. When rigging 2 bilge pumps, I also plumb one out each side of the boat, so in case she heels you still have some pumping capability. [/QUOTE]
