Livewell not draining

[FELLOW-SHIP]

Ok Guys this is how I set up my well.

Left Side/ Port well overflow drain 1 1/2" fitting
Middle is the boat bilge.
Right side is well drain.






Overflow Well drain and live well scoop.






End of Day well drain.



I use a Bomar hatch door has a good gasket system in it.

This is basically what I have except my overflow drain is installed a little higher. All my lines are the same size as yours.Also my lid is factory SeaCraft and does not seal tight. The overflow has a 5 inch drop minimum. My boat sets a little higher at the stern now with the bracket than it did without. Waterline is at the bottom of scuppers. Guess the boat is lighter without all the wet wood.I never tried to use the livewell when I got the boat I had enough water through scuppers. From looking at yours I don't understand why its not working. Thanks

Hi Reel Toy

The center of my overflow line is approx 4 to 5 inches from the top of the tank.
I never have a overflow problem sitting still but when running 30 MPH with the pump on I need to close the hatch lid or more water is coming in than going out.
The only time I ever have a overflow is if a bait fish gets sucked against the overflow line so I did this.



One question how many gallon per hr pump are you using to fill the Tank??

Another option we used years ago on the infloor was set the pump to pump OUT - regulate the water coming in and you can adjust the water height. Comes in fine getting it out is the issue so pump it.
