Well I decided to go with the Johnson raw water pump and there are no barbs for the 1 1/4" hose. The inside is threaded for 3/4" pipe and I cannot find a 3/4" pipe fitting with a 1 1/4" barbed end on it.
I'm not even sure if a 3/4" will allow enough water to flow.
George, MOP, Fix, or anyone else with this what did you use here?
