I have plumbed the well directly in front of my console as a livewell but was not happy with the way that it pumped out last year and I am trying to get some new ideas about how to pump it out. Any suggestions?

Above deck Capt. Nat? I have no pump out, just a single 1 1/2" overflow drain from close to the top of the above deck well running down under the deck discharging below the waterline. I may add another as I could use more flow. I can modulate the input and get a nice balance, but it requires attention. Especially when running as the clamshell really rams the water thru. No inlet pump needed when running.
I have an end of day drain which just empties onto the deck and goes out the scuppers.
Live bait is king down here south of Stuart to the Keys. I`ve seen many set ups. Cpt. Ray Rosher had 1000 gogs per side in his massive under gunwhale wells on the Get Lit when he released 29 sails in one day three years ago during the Silver Sailfish Derby. Above deck is easier if you`re coastal.
