OK so I went ahead and did this. I added a new through-hull/ball valve in the center bilge (kept the T handle intact so I can still drain there).
You drilled a new hole through your hull? Man that sounds scary. Did you remove the floor panel or just do everything through the small round "hatch?"
Can't wait to hear how it goes. I'd love to have a pump setup like you describe. It takes a long time to fill with the extra triangle bag with a pump thrown over the side.
Yep, new through hull. Drill from the bottom, not the top. It's a pretty sweet adrenaline rush drilling a hole in the bottom of a perfectly good boat. Like hitting the meth pipe without the annoying loss of teeth.
Pump system worked out awesome. I was really happy with it. easy to set up. Just lay out the bag and connect the hose. Flip the switch and we're filling. No waiting with the stupid over the side pump anymore. Loved it!
