Let me know , anytime you want I am good to go. I saw your pics in the gallery at Round Valley a while ago ....it never ocurred to me with a 9.9 kicker yoiu can go out there even with the 150 hanging off the back. It would almost be worth getting one just to be able to get out there.

In the meantime if you need someone to help you wet a line let me know....

I bought the PVC check valves from Mcmaster Carr, they are for plumbing applications and not made specially for boats. They were a little over $10 a piece.

PVC Swing Check Valves

• Maximum Pressure: 150 psi @ 73° F
• Cracking Pressure: 0.1 psi
• Temperature Range: 32° to 140° F

Full-flow design offers minimal resistance. Valves can be mounted horizontally or vertically (upward flow only). Body and disc are PVC; seat is EPDM rubber. Choose from clear or white. Please specify NPT female or socket-weld (not threaded) connections.

I wouldnt rush out to get them just yet because I am not sure if they are going to work . I cut the barb off the through hull and screwed them right to the through hull. Problem is because of the length of them and the fact that the through hull is mounted on a slight angle the inlet to the check valve is now at about the same height as the floor drain. As a result it is trapping water in the drain and it is not draining too quickly. I am going to relocate them in the middle of the hose section and see if I can get the height right. I'll let you know how it works out.
