My outrage has the bilge pump plumbed to one of the drain holes in the transom.
this seems to be a waste of motor well drainage. Is this standard practise or is there a better place for it? Also while I am on here what is the OEM replacement for the bow running lights, mine are toast.

regentsbay,

Don't throw those lights away.....

I have my bilge hose just empty into the splash well. The water goes out the two thru hull drains in the transom so it works just fine.

I have both bilge pumps on my 18 go right out the stern.

Thanks, I will try the splash well idea. As far as the running lights are concerned, everything else on the boat is orginal marinium, but the running lights are original Taiwan. thats why I wondered what the best replacement is. The orginal owner also painted the stearn light black, any ideas on fixing that.

regentsbay,

I see.....
Some people use the tear drop Perko lights to replace the missing Wilcox lights.
I had a pair of these on one of my Outrages until I finally located a used pair of the Wilcox lights.

You should be able to clean the stern light post. If it is the just the light part you seek, Perko still sells this part. We have this part listed in our OEM Parts Photo section here:
