post your livewell setup!

"I`m gonna run an 800gph rule w 1 " hose and 1 1/2 drain. The drain is a 90 * so may need 2 thru the top of the coffin and out the existing transom thru hull."

I'm not quite there with mine, but I'm getting close. 800gph rule w/1" feeder, 1.5" overflow, and drain out below the waterline.


Livewell

Disconnected the old livewell drain...rerouted it to the new kodiak well. Going to seal off the old in deck well...considering it is a serious hazard...and when the new well drains it fills the old livewell...will drill giant hole in old well(strait to bilge) so that is avioded if water does get in.

New kodiak is a Pro-flo 17 gal. works like a charm. But water will syphon out when you turn the pump off(Just close the check valve)and that is solved.

Any questions just ask, seems as though this is what you are referring to exactly.

Where is the original intake for the livewell? And is the general consensus to run a clamshell strainer style thru-hull---->sea-cock---->livewell pump? Threaded to each other, or plumbed with hose?

Ikan,

Any idea the size of your baitwell and what size pump are you using?

I put in a clamshell 5" behind the tank and 6" port of the keel to hide it a tad. Cut down the threads to 1 " , ball valve on top, and cut down Rule 800 livewell/washdown on top. You want it low to keep the pump happy. The clamshell will "ram" water through the well while runnin w/. out the pump. Those pump shafts will break so the valve is NOT an option, and fast access is a must.
