I have a Dana 24 and want to install a fresh (sea) water foot pump in
the galley. Am curious if I should just put a new thru hull in the
sink area or attempt to run a hose from the existing sea water inlet
line (goes to head). If I am not mistaken this line also feeds the
engine intake as well.

Routing a new hose seems like a bit of a challenge getting to the
under the sink area;where a thru hull would be a lot easier.

Besides having a sea cock on the thru hull is there anything else I
need prior to connecting to the pump? Strainer?
