[QUOTE="89Suburban, post: 170622, member: 4377"] Yeah, overflow is good for self leveling in the tank and recirculating fresh water into the livewell. You can also ball valve the system to circulate tank water or with fresh outside water. My boat has a 3 way tee with a ball valve to do just that. Theoretically, you can use a three way ball valve as an intake, a recirculator, and a tank drain all in one and using only one thru hull port if you plumb it right. But the overflow drian must have a separate drain for itself in the transom or side of the boat. You also might want to screen your drains inside the livewell tank so no bait fish or fish parts or dirt get clogged in the drain lines on the way back out. You ever throw a few smallmouths in a live well and see the stuff they cough up? :shock: [/QUOTE]
