I installed this in a 2007 Carolina skiff J16 in the little bilge pocket. I just epoxied the blue retainer clip to the bottom. I don't like drilling holes in a boat if I can help it. Works great, pumps out the bilge pocket in about 10 seconds. I bought the hose along with it. Only needed about 2 feet. They have these at Wally world too. I good additional/replacement for a smaller boat.
