Hello David,

Thanks for writing in!

Yes, the Seaflo Non-Automatic Bilge Pump - Submersible - 2,000 GPH - 12V DC # SE27FR will work well for pumping water up about 7 feet to the top of your pontoon slide.

I attached the performance chart below so you can see how the flow rate changes as the lift increases. At about 7 feet of head, the pump will still move roughly 450 to 500 gallons per hour, which is plenty for feeding a pontoon slide.

To get the best performance, you'll want to use 1-1/8" hose to match the pump's outlet and keep the hose run as straight as possible.

That sounds like a fun setup! What lake are you planning to take your pontoon out on? I have a bass boat, I am out on the Lake of the Ozarks or Mark Twain Lake both here in Missouri quite a bit.
