Josh, I’m not sure there’s enough clearance between the through-hull and the floorboard (my hose is connected to a 90-degree adapter) — so I’m looking for something I can place in-line. For example, this has caught my eye: s981022078391678967_p16_i1_w600.jpeg <http://www.quickflushvalve.com/uploads/8/4/6/7/8467152/s981022078391678967_p16_i1_w600.jpeg>
What is the internal diameter of your hoses? I’m pretty sure it’s 1”, but if you know for sure, please share :) All the best, Edd Edd M.
