[QUOTE="Waldershrek, post: 347634, member: 13848"] While I'm stuck waiting for the console and stuff to get here, I've been thinking about how to rig this livewell up as far as plumbing. More so with the drain. I don't know if I want to have it drain into the bilge and use the bilge pump to pump the water out of the boat or if I want to rig it up with some sort of pump to actually pump the water out. My fear with draining into the bilge is what if the bilge pump quits? Now I've drained a bunch of water into the bilge that I can't get out. Another option is to run drain pipe back to the bilge pipe/ Currently the bilge pumps out via pipe to a thru hull fitting just below the gunwale. I could put a t fitting and use that same pipe couldn't I? The other option is to put a dedicated pump for pumping out the livewell and putting it's own separate thru hull fitting maybe on the right side just below the gunwale. What are you're thoughts?
