The dip tube is a ~2 foot section of 1/2" PVC water pipe. I heated it up with a heat gun and bent it to shape so it would get into the lowest corner of the tanks. It just friction fits into the fitting above it.
I had secured Weld Mount footman loops to the cabin sole to strap the "real" tank down to; using them now for holding the jugs in place with the green straps.
The yellow Starboard? platform with white cleats was set up for my original water tank, which then sprung a leak. I'm planning to get a new/permanent tank, but in the meantime set up this system. A temporary full width Starboard cleat holds the jugs off the upper/inboard locker side. Three jugs just fit, with storage outboard (behind them).

New 1" through-hull set in place to check fit - nice and snug.
Dremel with sanding drum used. Pardon the blur but it gives the idea.
After enlarging to new size - used Dremel with sanding drum, sanded to pencil line. I taped a plastic bag around the hole on the inside to keep dust out of the boat, and also had a vacuum nozzle taped to the topsides on the outside where I was working.
