I just thought that clean out door was supposed to be inside. I figured I would get a legit answer here. Thanks

The pump you have only mounts that way. So it really isn't "set back". The boat was designed for it as it has a fiberglass intake.
I don't see anything wrong with those pumps but a lot of people feel they have 0 performance potential because of the intake. Everything else is the same as a standard Berk.

They are intended to provide a more economical means of installation compared to a conventional install.
They are more difficult to service because they are not easily (or cheaply) removed from the hull and typically requires removal of the engine to get the shaft out.
From a performance standpoint, they don't load as hard as a conventional pump.
Moving the hand hole cover outside of the boat should have been a no-brainer from the start. Should you ever need to access it while in deep water, removal of a hand hole cover that is located inside the boat would cause an immediate 4-1/4" diameter geyser to spring forth.
