[QUOTE="Fishingman48, post: 518848, member: 25137"] Hi all, Well, been away for a bit and back with another question, well boat is getting there slowly had new electric motor mount installed so just a matter of time before droppin her in, However, on my Mirror Craft troller the live well is the rear center of stern and is also the seat for the Operator/ skipper. now we have two lines' coming out one is hooked up to a pump & aerator to draw water in. The other is for drainage w/ overflow tube to allow water & debris out however the drainage port is under water & i am use to having side ports where the dirty water would drain out from side port. How does this work ""with a pump or natural overflow"" to get rid of dirty/ wastewater? Is it from draw when water and debris is dumped into overflow drainage port, and just runs down through and out back under water, while trolling or boating to next area to fish? I noticed a on and off switch for aerator to pump air and fresh water in on fish live well tank // however it seems the drainpipe is just that an overflow line connected to stern drainage port which is to the side of the stern drainage port for boats hull. there is 1 intake port for aerator & two other's one for live well drain & one for hull drain , how ever as stated the drain for live well is underwater I am taking it there is no need for a pump to force / draw water out while in use as is a natural flow of draw to pull out when going forward correct? & drainage pipe unscrews from inside tank to allow for complete drainage of tank when out of water which know . Pls correct on anything I may be missing or need knowledge of as want everything working correctly & have complete knowledge of. I also noticed there is no bilge pump as no side drain for such, manufacturer never installed one when modifying this model should one be installed ?????? Never stupid question's [/QUOTE]
