Kyle,
I'm going to try w/o the Y-fitting first. I may add later if necessary.
Tonight I took care of my question on whether there should be 2 shutoffs or where proper placement of 1 should be. I decided to add another shutoff so I could effectively bypass the entire system as if it weren't there.
Pictures follow:
I had to add ~2" extension (in order to clear the water pump housing) and a 90deg elbow.
Here's the subassembly screwed into the water pump housing. I had to remove the hose going to the water pump in order to assemble into the water pump housing.
Valve and hose-barb attached.
Location of both shutoffs.
Hoses re-routed and re-secured.
That's all for tonight. Moved on to simultaneously running ballast project.
