This invention describes a system for moving fluid on a boat. It uses a special adapter that connects to a pump, allowing water to flow through a channel and be pumped away. Specifically, the claims describe this system for either emptying water from a boat's bilge or moving water in and out of ballast tanks.
Why it matters: The filing predates significant advancements in additive manufacturing techniques, which could now make the custom pump intake adapter more cost-effective to produce and iterate upon for specific watercraft designs.
