Thats the pump you want, its the same as tumekes 299, Its about as cheap as they get as well, not a bad price.
pretty sure the outlets take  38mm  id hose. 
       The pump is self primeing though so make sure you mount it under the waterline in or out of the boat. Other wise you will have to back flush the air out of the system every useage. I have one and there is no substitute for the flow Two big skippes no worries.

no thats a pump for two tubes. that pic looks similar but I run mine as a dry pump.

mackeral and kahawai in a tube work well but you have to reduce the water flow some what as they get blown out and believe it or not the bloody things die, go figure but kahawai last ok, think the biggest problem with smaller jacks etc is they turn around and water is forced back through the gills, what you want to do is get some 75mm down pipe and let it sit in the tube then slide in a jack, this works well, personally bock off the bottom of the 75 and put hole up the side you dont need force fed water for jacks just a continual supply of good water

Here's a couple set up, big volume pump def. needed
 
 
 
Pump down below
 
 
 
 
Inlet tap and pipes
 
 
 
It works well, and most of the time they're great rubbish bins.
 
I use my livie tank for Mackerel and KY a lot more than the Tuna tubes.
