[QUOTE="redbug, post: 139370, member: 71"] you will have some water pass through the pump when it is not under power. if you fill line is above the water line you will be fine . (water wont flow up hill without power) if you fill line is below the water line it will fill to that point. one thing you can do is install a shut off valve on the out side of the pump and shut it off when not in use. aren't you going to need an overflow system anyway? how do you plan on adding fresh water without one filling the live well without the ability to add fresh water will wind up killing fish. if you have a drain setup for it you can just add a stand pipe to the drain and use it as your overflow it will need to be a good size to allow the 800gph pump to not flood the boat [/QUOTE]
