[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 179353, member: 55"] This. A self priming pump will cost much more than 2 standard livewell pumps. I generally rig my installed livewells with a drain, that merely has a plug in it. The aerator is just installs through the bottom, and the hose pipes up to the top, to the spray bar. I install a 12v plug somewhere near the livewell, and have another pump/section of hose to fill. When filling or draining on the water, just plug the pump into this plug, and fill or empty. Use the drain plug to empty it on the trailer. Take a look at the 1648 Alumacraft in my sig for that (using a cooler). I'm doing another like that with a slightly smaller cooler in a boat I'm working on now. If you want a true livewell tank, and not a cooler, send a PM to Jr Branham. He has recently picked up a livewell tank, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind telling you where he got it. Dawson [/QUOTE]
