Yeah, I know.

If nothing else, I figured out how to get a lot of water out of a boat on a trailer the easy way using a garden hose when the distance from the faucet to the boat was longer than the hose.

1) Hook garden hose to faucet with open end down hill.
2) Turn on faucet and run water until it is coming out of the hose at full blast.
3) Have someone crimp the downstream end of the hose and hold it that way.
4) Crimp the upstream end of the hose as you are turning off the faucet.
5) Unscrew the hose from the faucet.
6) Carry the crimped upstream end of the hose to the boat, up the ladder, into the boat and place the end of the hose into the water in the boat, preferably at the lowest point and release your crimp on the hose.
7) Holler from inside of the boat to the person holding the downstream end of the hose "ok let go!"

Siphon worked like a champ.
