[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 454453, member: 22613"] I'm working on extending my deck over the middle bench, and will also be adding in a Livewell. The tank is roughly 15 gallons, and the through hull pump is on the transom. Is there any downside to running the drain out of the side, instead of all the way back to the transom? It will save me quite a bit of hose, and another big hole in the transom. The drain will likely be submerged unless I'm underway. I will be using a a removable standpipe, and the pump will fill and aerate through a spray tube. I realize that I may have a couple inches of water in the tank, depending on the water line and where I put the drain if I leave the standpipe out, but that is of no concern to me. [/QUOTE]
