Thanks Gary! It works and saved money from buying another electrical load (pump). I would advise that regardless of the placement of the discharge, the pump should be as close as possible to the suction. There is a surprising amount of room under almost all the floor boards. Epoxy a block of wood to the hull and then mount your deck pump to it. You'll also probably never regret getting a higher flow and higher pressure pump.
Pex or even radiator hose can plumb easily from the pump to the deck connection. Go one size larger for better flow. One of the v-birth lockers, port or stbd, is probably as far forward as I would put it. Anything further and the difficulty of installation doesn't outweigh the benefits of being closer to the bow.
