Kevin - What prompted the decision to re-plumb? if it was the need for a
new pump, then the new pump's 6' requirement, why not just drop the new
pump in in place of the old and try it? If it works, move on... I
replace my pump on my 33, didn't even read the manual other than GPH on the
box (close enough) and it works perfectly, took 30min, and I'm
now gleefully tossing boat bucks at other stuff.
I think you could DIY a fitting relocation on the water tank if you wanted
too, but why? As stevan points out, getting this stuff done professionally
is expensive (did my large hoses on the holding tank - more critical) My
C$.02...

My tank is under the port settee as well. However the pump was located
under the galley sink on the starboard side. So the tank outlets were
forward, then the tubing ran towards the galley. There was a T after it
entered that storage area which one way went to the foot pump the other to
the electrical pump. I don't know the history of the boat, so I don't know
if it originally started with just the foot pump. I'm the 3rd or 4th owner
I believe. I've thought about relocating it to where the tank is, however I
don't want to run a completely separate line to the foot pump.
I did just read somewhere though that the distance listed for self priming
pumps is actually only for vertical distance? Is this true? If that's the
case, then I don't have a problem. Vertically it will only be 6"-12" above
the height of the outlet on the tank.
Thanks,
Kevin
