I am hoping this won't be a problem but I don't know yet. It did occur to me. It's a 3/4 ID hose, which is why I bought the 800 (didn't want to change the thru hull) and a 15 foot run. If its a problem I'll put a high spot in the run. No check valve.
Also, I should mention that I don't expect this pump to save my boat if a thru hull gives way or if an errant torpedo from the testing area hits it. Last year when everything was leaking like a sieve I was down there every rain storm turning on the manual pump (the FET sensor had failed). Now that I plugged all the big leaks (that I know of so far) I am hoping to be able to not rush down to the boat every rain storm.
