As far as my electric bilge pump goes, the discharge hose goes towards the front of the bilge, then up under the port settee. It goes right along the inside of the settee, through the cabinet under the sink, then through the quarter berth and out the back. It was there when I bought the boat, and works great. The one thing is I had to install a check valve so that when it shut off, extra water in the hose didn't come back into the bilge.
