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.
