Bilge pump is correct. Creates a suction from the prop.  grtn

That is pretty clever. No need for a pump or electric to run it.  t^
Only downfall is it will only work while you are running.

If your to look close the tube runs from one outboard to the other..... Its one tube to both motors..... when the boat gets into shollow water they pull the center pulling both outboards up at the same time..... I thought bilge to.... But why not just put the tube on the boat..... less tube
