Birel water pump IAME

I am using a Birel water pump on a IAME Leopard. The outlet side measures 9/10 of an inch. What hose do I use there and how do I get it to the 5/8 inlet on the engine?
this pic is similar to the one I'm using
Thank you

Here is how I've set up our Freeline pumps. I believe the u-bend is 5/8" ID and I stretch std 5/8" ID hose to fit over the inlet of the water pump. It is a pain but works. This silicone hose works better than the black rubber hose.

Clay that helps a lot.
Thanks for taking the time to post that. You may have saved my motor! Very Happy

I owe you a beer.

No problem. Glad it helped. Another option is shown below. It is Freeline's molded "U" hose. I've never seen one but maybe the water pump end is larger to fit their pump.
