I mounted mine forward in the keel so I could attach a bracket I fashioned from aluminum stock to the support below the companionway. Then I ran the hose just forward of the winch, port side maybe a bit lower than ideal. But wit the light winds on the lake where I sail, no problems.
BTW, I have a full cover, not just a boom tent. I haven't installed the permanent battery yet, so when I went to the boat recently with a weego portable battery to test out the pump, I was surprised to find a bone dry bilge! I have to engage my canvass bucket to complete the testing!
