[QUOTE="Rat, post: 117257, member: 1914"] The best looking place for the through hull fittings is at the transom I think, but that's usually the hardest place to get to as well. Looks like that kit will do it for ya tho. You will have a water pick up and drain in the transom and an overflow straight out the side of the hull. You could have your overflow out through the transom as well if it is close enough. Your overflow needs to move as much water as your pump; other wise you risk filling the boat up with water due to a clogged drain or malfunctioning pump. Your standpipe is the normal drain and is used to set the water level as well. Your drain could also exit the bottom of the hull, but if you routinely run over stumps ans stuff I would not put it there, or at least get a brass grated drain (seacock) fitting that could take the abuse.
