I zip tied the bilge hose (smooth inside, not ribbed) to the steering cable. Use velcro if you need to. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I had a small piece of 3/8" aluminum that I drilled and tapped for the pump mounting, then arranged the the hose, then used BoatLife LifeSeal on the bottom of the plate.
