: Why not mount it horizontal?

That would certainly work.

I made some measurements before even cutting the bulkhead & found this setup would work for me, so I went with minimal plumbing. Especially since my foot rests are on the bulkhead rather than side rails.

I plan to experiment with a pipe & strum box - want to see if it gets in the way of my feet in this boat (esp. getting in/out on land). That would move the intake low enough to get almost all the water out (right now there's maybe a quart or so left in the boat when the pump sucks air).

Lots of room for improvement, and lots of different ways to do similar things. That's what makes this board so much fun!
