[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 118860, member: 2096"] IMHO your making it too complicated to try and not drill holes. I would suggest drilling a hole to fill and drill a hole for drain. You can then pump into the sprayer, and have a gravity drain that has a 2-way valve that can either drain or recirculate. You don't need an overflow. You can let the livewell fill and overlow into your bilge if you like. :) Based on your original design this is what I would do if I was trying to stick to your plan. Move Pump 1 to where Valve 1 is. Remove valve 2, valve 3 and pump 2. Place a 3-way valve at the T. Use a livewell timer that has on, off and timed on/off. Then you can use one timer/switch and one pump to handle both pump out and recirculate depending on what position your three way is in. You will also need to get a self priming pump. The standard "live-well" pump is not self priming and any air in the line between the pump and the water will air lock it. [/QUOTE]
