Heres a paint pic of how I'm setting up my livewell. Just wanted to trouble shoot before I start drilling holes.
The text on my paint program doesnt work, so bear with me. I'm basically pumping water in, and its dumping through the aerator head to fill and freshen the water. I'll leave it on for a while to aerate the fish, meanwhile the overflow will keep it from over flowing (hopefully). I'm using 3/4" hose and thru-hulls for the entire project to keep it simple, and while I'm sure I should have the over flow bigger than the fill-up, I'm banking on it getting the job done. In the bottom of the tank I will have a 3/4"thru hull with a plug in it, which should get the job done as well. The boat leans to the right when I'm in it, so I'm using this to my advantage and putting the overflow and drain to the right. I do realize it will only drain when out of the water, but thats fine by me. Its just something to keep my fish alive till I get them home, and to keep them kickin when I start fishing tournaments.
Oh, and for style points, I just got some bluewater LEDs on sale for it. 8)
Any input?
