Help needed: New Ride Plate for 91 SN

[Yamisj]

I have a new R&D ProSeries ride plate for my SN. Now that I have removed the stock plate, I see that there is some plumbing that is connected to the left side of the pump. It was also mounted to the ride plate. The new ride plate does not have bolt holes to mount this plumbing to it, like the stock one.
Is it necessary or critical to mount the plumbing to the new ride plate?

plumbing is bildge line.....

I wasnt sure if it was part of the cooling system or stock bildge...it's a one to one half inch hose.

So I talked to Blowsion...the hose I was speaking of was the siphon that comes off the pump and the bildge is also connected to it.
The answer I was seeking was that the hose doesn't not need to be remounted to the aftermarket ride plate, especially if you are using a bildge system other than the stock one.

if you arent going to a scupper, i suggest keeping the stock bilge.

all you have to do is find a later year exit nozzle with the smaller bilge fitting attached.



i run 2 attwood 500's and the stock bilge.
my bilge switch broke in daytona....had i not kept my stock bilge i would have been SOL.

keep the factory siphon, it works better than you would think
it just discharges into the pump cavity with the a/m ride plate

Did you remove the hoses all together and plug the hole through the hull, or just let the heavy rubber mount dangle back there?
