Re: Vacuflush
Hopefully so! The bills are in the proper direction, couldn't get them all perfectly horizontal , some about 10 degrees off, logically that should not matter, right?

Re: Vacuflush
Orientation shouldn't matter. I've read where some people even align them 90degrees off from each other. Not sure it really has any impact though.

Re: Vacuflush
It's basically a check valve, it don't give a crap which rotation it is it put in. Pun intended.

One tip for putting it back in the boat is to have the mounting screws on the aft side screwed in the boat a little and then slide the pump assembly under them if you can. It's tricky, but I ended up doing that job multiple times. (Long story)
We used your tip for the rear screws and that’s a great call. Also, as you said how it got quieter, very true! Noticeable difference.
