Re: livewell question
How did you guys fabricate the tanks.....and how did you make them round.....well I assume you made them round...
The thing thats in the boat now has way too many corners in it...I like round
I was thinking of using a reversible livewell pump. Was going to run an overflow straight out the transom and then plumb it one of two ways...With an inlet high on the tank and then a drain on the bottom (this would require a y-valve) or just put the fill/drain on the bottom at an angle.
To tell you the truth when I was on the big boats we used portable tanks even though we had real nice in deck wells.... For several reasons.
The pumps always seemed to fail...usually in a tournament. That meant jury-rigging the washdown to get the bait fresh water. The wells were in the floor and a pain in the butt to use...especial when the ocean was kicked up. The hatch to the well was huge and very awkward to deal with while getting bait. So we ended using the poly tanks that sit on the deck.....granted we had the room to do that....and one was mounted under the fighting chair.
Now if I do the bracket thing I'll get deck space....OR
I'll just convert the old splashwell to a live well!! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] just kidding
