[QUOTE="FishingCop, post: 16969, member: 133"] Okay, never had a deep V before and the person I bought it from says to always keep the live well plug in when the boat's in the water so mud, etc., doesn't clog up the drain line. Made sense at first I guess, but that was when we would launch and take out in the same day. Even still, I would think one should airate/freshen the water regularly to keep fish alive? We're going to have the boat on a lake for 7 days without taking it out of the water. I'm thinking I should leave the plug out so I can regularly airate/change the water. Otherwise, if I turn the live well pump on with the plug in, I assume the live well will overflow and need to be pumped out by the bilge pump. This just doesn't sound right??? Ant thoughts?? Thanks.
