The screws on the cheese grader are going snap off when you try to remove them , be prepared to drill new holes  keep the pump body as low as you can inside the hull those rule Tournament pumps aren’t the best but they have the lowest profile and are very easy to replace I keep a spare onboard.

That is interesting. That would make things much easier. I only have one center live well. It has two inlets, one top and one bottom like all modern Pathfinders. It also has a recirc pump. My plan is to run a pump to each of the inlets instead of one pump feeding both. There are times when I just want more GPH than I can get with one pump. Having two separate pumps gives me more control. Just not sure running two 3/4 inlet 800 gph pumps  off of one 3/4 inlet feed from the sea chest will do what I want.

Thinking about it, that is worth a try, all I need extra is a 3/4 tee.  Thanks for the info!!

  One 3/4 pipe can supply 16 gpm thru 100 ft. of pipe. You have less than one foot of pipe.  In theory two 800 gph pumps can supply 26 gpm. But that is assuming the pumps are at water level and nothing to restrict the water flow like bends in the pipes, hoses, strainers and elevation to live-well. 

  Practically speaking, you might assume in a live-well scenario, you could achieve 20 gallons per minute using two 800 gph pumps. And since your supply pipe is less than one foot in length, you shouldn't have any problem supplying water to both pumps.
