In the holes where the hoses came off,
Most new pumps have 1 blocked from factory like that and you need to remove if you use

Shannon, you should be able to buy rubber cups that fit over the hose outlet that is then secured with a hose clamp. Holdens use to supply them specifically to blank off hose outlets that are no longer required. It looks alot neater than looping the hose from one outlet to the other. This is another option if you don't want to go to the effort of tapping the hole and fitting a tapered plug.
Regards Ole.
