I dumped over board through a thru hull fittiing. I used
1" hose. I cut about 3/8 off the spring. Shorten the stem by 1/4 " and made the nylon piece to screw in the top to hold the valve in place. Put the valve back together using a sealer. Hope this helps. Like I said before this works great. 15 lbs at 3800 and about 20 lbs @WOT

I also have the pressure relief valves, I will be doing some testing this weekend, I know the valves dumped @ 4000 & above, I'm expecting the pressure to be lower now with the lwp blocked off, I'll let you know
