You can 100%, however, why would you remove it? Unless you plan to use the line for dual cooling or trim line, it isn't hurting anything as is.

The hull has 2 tubes in it. One for cooling and one for siphon.
If you want to run dual cooling but do not want to add a 3rd tube, you have to remove the siphon and use the siphon tube for the second cooling line.
Post #2 is saying that if you are not setting up dual cooling through the siphon tube, leave the siphon in place.
You have your pump tapped for dual cooling and want to run dual cooling. The second cooling line is going to get connected to what used to be the stock siphon line. There will be nothing to hook the siphon to, so yes, you can remove all of the siphon components.
You must buy a bilge system. You need a bilge, switch, ring terminals, piece of wire for switch to battery, tube to hull fitting, hull fitting, and whatever other components you need to extend and splice wires. Lastly, you need to have a way to install the bilge. You can glue it to the hull or buy a bracket. Most would probably prefer the bracket.
The little screw that holds the stock siphon in place might be hard to get out. I had to remove my engine and use an impact driver to get the screw out.
I have a blaster and was going to run dual cooling using existing bilge line . Knowing that some bore there nozzles then wouldn't make sense to remove the bilge tube in exit nozzle to increase volume. I don't plan on using a bilge pump. I don't believe they ever worked to begin with. I'll be installing drain plugs from 701 industries. Has anyone had luck pressing out the bilge tube or does it need to be cut off?

I'd spend $10 on some stainless tubing and 20 minutes installing another line. Then I would keep the stock siphon...they do work.
Most will bore their nozzle right past the siphon and fill with silicone.

I honestly think this is the route I will be going . Seems the simplest . My nozzles at #zeros and I had him remove the siphon bilge . I don't think they work either and if it did it worked very poorly .
