Help designing sweep on pump volute

I'm working to get one of our pump volutes designed, and the only thin tripping me up is the "sweeping discharge". Does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish this? I've attached a few photos for reference.

@dylanUTLW6 

Welcome to the Fusion forum!  Nice (interesting) looking pump!  I always hated modeling pumps in Inventor, I could never get the volute geometry right...

Anyway, thanks for sharing the photos of what you're trying to do.  Hopefully one of the Fusion gurus will have some thoughts.  I'm envisioning some sort of sweep....

Is this document of any use in your quest?

 

EDIT:

You'll also find quite a few videos and tutorials online if you do a bit of Googling (no doubt some better/more relevant than others!).

If this answers your question please mark the thread as solved as it can help others find solutions in the future.

Based on the limited info, 

 

Swept half circle tube on the curved paths, (2) then lofted the gap, with surface and thicken.

Cut the opening in a std dish.
