[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 179403, member: 169"] I left a long hose attached to the pump and had it coiled in the bottom of the cooler attached to the spray bar for recirculaton. When I wanted to fill it I just tossed the pump overboard and turned it on. It pumped water into the cooler through the spraybar. I had a large 1" thru hull going through the cooler as an overflow so when it got full it would just overflow over the side through 1" tubing attached to the fitting. When I needed to move with the gas motor I pulled the bilge pump in and tossed it in the cooler to recirculate. In order to be able to have the hose in or out I just cut a notch out of the top corner of the lid. This isn't the nicest looking setup but it worked for me in a pinch (made it the night before a tourney with what I had on hand). It worked so well I just kept it until I got a different boat with a livewell in it. [/QUOTE]
