[QUOTE="jalockwood, post: 342270, member: 13522"] Hello all new to the forum here and working on a big project as I have recently bought a 1989 bass tracker pro 17. The boat was in decent condition however I am completely re doing all the outdated pumps, water logged floatation foam along with new floors. I currently have the boat empty and working on replacing the factory aerator pump and bilge pump. My question is concerning the operation of the livewell on this old boat (noobie boat owner please forgive me). I removed my drain hose from the livewell and the thru hull fitting and I have removed the old aerator. When the livewell is installed and hooked up completely does it fill only to the water line of the boat or is it necessary to plug the bottom of the livewell once it fills with the pump? I obviously don't want to get a nasty surprise when I drop it in the water with no livewell plug and fill the boat completely with water....looks to me like the aerator would supply fresh water into the well however I don't know if the pvc hose on the livewell is designed to keep from over filling the well/ flooding the boat. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
