The bilge pump tee won't work. You'll pump your hull full of water back through the pump housing. Not sure about the dry exhaust hose. I think you'll have a lot of internal line pressure at high rpm, which could restrict the outlet flow on the water pressure dump line.
I would just do a dedicated line. It's easy.

I ran mine out so that it sprays on my upper drive housing, for some additional cooling.

I welded a bung into my silent choice divertor valves to dump my water.
I agree with Steve, no on the bilge pump. You'd need a check valve to do so to make sure it doesn't back flow, but that may effect the bilge pumps abilty to work as and WHEN needed.
