    Default Any one tried this livewell pump out???


    I seen someone post this on the BBC forums. Looks pretty simple compared to adding a pump and plumbing options I had been looking at. I am going to add a 5'-6' hose to reach my weigh in cooler and just leave it attached and in the battery compartment instead of drilling a hole for it to come out of at the back of the boat.

    If it doesn't work as an aerator, it might do well in a hot tub.....

    I've been wanting to add a pump out to my boat for a while. Takes a while to scoop out of the livewell to fill a 40qt cooler at about 1/4 gallon each scoop. I could not bring myself to drill a big hole in the back for the drain on the other system I seen. So when I seen a guy talk about using this I figured I would try it for $20. It will replace the factory spray head in my boat which looks just like it on the inside of the livewell. I can always put the old one back in of it don't work. I checked the tracking and it will be here tomorrow. Will get it installed and try it out over the weekend.

    Looks like the one on my ranger. Just pull out and it pumps the well dry. I have gotten pretty good at drilling holes in boats lately Jared. Just take a deep breathe close your eyes and go for it.LOL
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    After looking at it I may try and find a pvc "Y" the right size and tie it in to one of my bilge pump hoses. I have to a automatic and a manual pump so there is two exit ports at the back of the boat. Should not hurt a thing to Y into one of them. Then would not have to mess with a hose other than I could use it with the cooler being on the deck.

    I have drilled a lot of holes through carpet for rod holders and Balzout mount for my Humminbird. But the 3 little holes I did through the actual glass beside the console for that Balzout mount was pretty scary. I even made Jackie mount/install my StumpJumper on the back so I did not have to drill the holes.

    Yep It can be unnerving. Mine has the third hole beside the bilge holes. The Y might work as long as it don't back flow though the bilge into the boat.
