Im looking to install a washdown pump kit on my 19ft "tinny" project and looking for feedback since I've never had or used one. Question is, primarily which size? The 3.5gpm pump has a 1/2 hose with 70psi max. The 5.2gpm has a 3/4in hose with 70psi max. Both have 25ft hose. The boat already has through hull fitting and hose that was orig set up for rear livewell but the pump was bad and I'm removing the livewell box. So what I'm seeing is the biggest difference is the amount of water (gpm) as max pressures. I havent measured the line diameter coming in, and perhaps that make a difference, but could that easily be be adapted with a 1/2-3/4 coupling or visa versa? Like I said, these pumps are new to me so any help would be appreciated as I cant see spending the additional $50-$100 for the "bigger" pump if its not needed.
