Re: LIVEWELL on a 23' CC
I have a 23' 89 Sceptre with a livewell in the floor simular to the CC's.
What I did was mount a small bilge pump with a integral float switch right off the end of the top drain hole of the live well, hooked the wires to the livewell light/circuit. When water gets within 2" of the top of the livewell, the pump kicks in and tosses it out. I also put pvc shutoff valve on the fresh water in hole so I can regulate the volume of water coming in. Between this, and the rabud sculpers with the check ball, I now have dry feet with 3 guys standing in the back of the boat. The only problem with the rabuds, is you need to install a stainless strainer in front of them, or crap gets in there and clogs them. I found that the stainless screen filter from a bilge pume (I think it was a rule) for 2.49 cents worked just fine.
If you can't get the picture, let me know, and I will shoot some digitals for reference (but not today, its pouring rain out there).
