I second the motion. Mine had a thru hull that was 1/2" I.D. and, get this, a 90 degree elbow inside the hull with the corrugated hose!! I put a 1" straight thru hull fitting and upped the hose to the clear smooth 1" hose. With a 1500 gph pump, it empties the bilge in HALF the time! Less battery drain + more water out of the bilge faster = 1 happy guy!
