Does anyone know where you can order those though hull fitting with the pullout hose for your livewell pump out?

My buddies new Skeeter has this and I have looked all over trying to find one with no luck.
It a hose that you can pullout of the livewell pump out hole. It is about 3-4 feet long that u can use to fill your weighin bags or rinse something off..

Anyone got any ideas at all? See post below for details!

Try Fun N Sun in Hurst. They can probably get I for you.

Made it myself.. here is the install.
Got the hole drilled out out.


Inserted a brass bushing to keep from pulling hose though the hull fitting.



Hot glued the hose to the end peice, this keeps it from pushing into the boats hull out of reach.




Got it in and mounted.


Working like a champ!


Hose pulled out working like intended! Done!!




What I used, 10 feet of 3/4 bilge hose. I wish it was smooth walled. That is the only thing I would change.
7 feet of 3/8 hose from lowes.
1 though hull fitting from Academy
1 1/2" brass flare fitting from lowes. I heated the 3/8 hose and forced the fitting in.
1 plastic 3/8" barb by 1/2" thread adapter from lowes. I cut the thread 1/2" off as seen in the pictures.
A bit if silcone, already had that on hand.
1 livewell pump with filter screen mounted into bottom of live well. Bought from Academy I done this as well but due to location pictures weren't really an option.
A bit of wire to hook it to the top side of my live pump in switch. (The boat has two pumps in and a reculate as well.) I already had the wire and connections needed for the install.

I didn't have to add an extra switch since the switchs work on 3 postions. One of those only used 1 postion.


Total cost was less than 50$. It took me about two hours total by myself. It could be done a lot quicker but I had trouble getting the nut tight on the thugh hull fitting due to my arm not fitting in there very well.

I'm impressed, well done.

Way to go. Southern ingenuity, nothing like it.

Ty guys, Used it today. Worked great!

May have found u a new lil side business

+1. my skeeter came from there with one of these

Looks great, good job. Questions though...

You mounted the extra pump inside the livewell?

Does that hose go all the way back to the new pump or did you route some other pipe/hose from the pump and connect to that?

Do you have any concerns with the hose extending out of the hole as you run down the lake from vibration? You could just say your boat is excited to be out fishing, but still.

Nice upgrade!

Nice job.... Online Flow Rite has all you need to live wells

I drilled a 7/8" hole in the livewell and mounted the pump directly to it. The pump is on the outside of the livewell, it also has the filter screen so it doesnt pickup any trash and clog the smaller hose or pump. The 3/8 hose runs from the hull about 4 feet. It doesn't reach the pump. I didn't add much extra main hose it wasnt needed. It took about 6 feet to reach the pump. I did secure the hose with zipties and I also secured the pump wires with zipties.

As far as the hose coming out going across the lake it hasn't happened yet. I did run it @ 67 yesterday though some good waves.(fishing a tourney) It gave no indication that it would be an issue.

So far the only thing I would change is to not use a corragted bilge hose and use a smooth hose for the main hose. The pullout hose slides back in easy enough but I had bought 7' of it and after about 4' it got difficult to slide it back in. 4' seemed to be just about right.

I have to do another one for my buddies champion at some point. He stopped by today and liked it as well.

Thanks,
Chris

Well it has been a few months still works great! No trouble with the hose coming out on pad. I did use a black sharpie to color the hose outlet.

Impressive! Looks like a seamless installation & I gaurantee u saved a chunk of change by doing it yourself. Thank u for sharing it w us.

That's pretty cool ingenuity!
