[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 251072, member: 1928"] Yeah, I'm pretty sure the hose is a 3/4 ID, which in theory makes the pump tube a 3/4 OD, but I'll have to measure it and find something to plug or cap it. I'd rather find a cap of some sort so that I can put a clamp around it and not have to worry about it. Now, as far as "the outlet in the side of the boat that should be above water"...listen to THIS bit of engineering genius...the outlet for the livewell is UNDER the boat...and, as if that weren't stupid enough, it is exactly where the bunk sits... so, you can't drain the livewell when the boat is on the trailer because the drain is sitting on the bunk. :shock: The only way to empty the livewell is to pull the plug and bring the boat up to speed to suck the water out. I'm hoping that putting a plug in the livewell drain will keep water from coming in. I don't think I'll try that at WOT. :D [/QUOTE]
