Default Re: Materials

GFS I am familiar with the keep alive system. But for the live bait fishing we do in NJ it is more important to turn the water over meaning that in an hour for a 45 gallon live well with a 1600 gph pump and the live beeing 8 feet from the pump gives you 1100 gph which will turn the water over every 3 minutes. 90 percent of the time we are using adult bunker(menhaden or Pogies down south) And need volume. I am planning to install an oxygen system like I have in my Yellowfin for when the water gets warm. From my experience with livewells and the Bait that we use up north is the live has to be round or oval with zero obstructions in the tank it self, minimium current and preforated drainage. I have heard good things about Hammerhead livewells and not only are they extremely functional he has made it so it doesnt look like an eye sore in the cockpit. The lid locks forming a tight seal and is completely removable for a cast net to be completely dumped into it and not tear the net on the way out.
