Bilge pump hose

[Hugh17]

Hi,

One suggestion that I read here once, and still on my to do list, is to make a loop Under the kitcken cabinet that will go higher than the thruhull of the bilge pump.
So won't have much water comming back into bilge after pumping.
And don't need the check valve

I think the idea of making a loop under the sink cabinet is a good one, especially if an anti-siphon loop is also installed. Not sure how much room is under there, but I will check it out.

Does anyone know if the system using a check valve is original Catalina or was it likely done by a previous owner? For now, I'm going to replace the check valve with a low pressure Bosworth In-line check valve until I figure out how I want to permanently address the issue.
