[QUOTE="redbug, post: 16980, member: 71"] your live well should have a pump that will fill the live well with fresh water the drain in the bottom will not empty the old water out unless you get the boat up on plane. in my old boat if i let the pump run it would over flow into the bilge and start to fill the boat. so I added a timer on the pump and that helped out a bit. My new boat has an overflow in the top of the live wells the spills out the back of the boat so I can run fresh water in at all times and not flood the boat. If your gonna be on the water for 7 days with out an over flow I would take a hand pump and pup the water out nightly to get fresh water in it. adding an over flow isn't that hard and is a good weekend project Wayne [/QUOTE]
