Need Ballast pump and setup recommendations

Berg, wow how did I miss this thread?
I wouldn't worry about the solenoid on the discharge. I'd just run it out of the other side of the boat. so when the left fills it overflows out the right. When the left is full it will lower the left side of the boat which will raise the discharge more than a foot from the normal overflow height.

Either way let me know, I'd love to help. You buy the beer, and I'll drill the holes in your boat. I need the practice, I'm doing mine this winter too!

What... I have the tools!!!

Seriously we'll make it work. Give me a call lets do it.

How many times have I heard that one?

Hey Newt-

I would expect nothing less from you! Ha!
I'll give you a ring when the time comes for sure. I may hold off until after the holidays or may get a wild hair and start next month - kind of up in the air. I just found a house that I may make an offer on which will create a distraction for sure...

Should probably show you my setup and see what you think. I'm debating a lot on drilling new thru hulls on the sides for drain/vent lines. Wanted to use the existing ones out the back but that may end up being more of a drawback and hassle then it's worth. Still thinking the fewer parts (valves, loops, one-ways) the better.
