Hi Steve,

How do I oil the pump?…Should be oil holes in the motor housing's outer lip both front & rear…Couple of drops of 3N1 oil or the like every year should be fine…

Thru hull and strainer are 3/4 inch, so I added a PVC bushing to the inlet side of pump to get from 1 inch to 3/4 inch.  Groco strainer.…That's all good & I prefer the Groco strainers myself…I like the O-ring seals & spin on top.  

All seems to be working well after two days.

If you want to improve flow to the aft unit…You could try changing that "T" fitting by standing it up…Meaning make it an "F" fitting (also adding a 90 on top to make it look like an "F") with the top outlet going to the aft unit…

The top fitting of that configuration will always get more water which would help with your aft unit being further away…
