Any thoughts on the discharge?
Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt I would put the discharge output above the waterline at any point of sail at any time. All of mine are just below the toe rail aft. They have been underwater, but that was my mistake. There was one time when I had a passenger on board who honestly weighed about 300 pounds, and that really messed up the lines. He was an 'expert' and invited himself onto my boat after I rebuilt the rig. I hear he now sails a trawler.
I have a check valve on the little 500 pump. I can honestly say that I'd rather have a check valve than not have one. The hose run is long, but it's better than a siphon when the rails are under water. To be honest, I've learned that my boat sails best when the rails are about 8-14 inches off the water. So I manage my sails appropriately. But, really,
Gotta go. My stereo just blasted out Jimmy B's 'why don't we get skunked and draw' followed by Joan Jetts cover of Tommy James and the Shondells's Crimson and Clover. And I still can't find the darn remote to turn it off. And I met this woman today who swore she knew a better brand of tequila than the one I've been nursing for the last 25 years. I don't believe it, but heck, there's always a chance.
