Install raw water washdown and never use a bucket to fill your livewell again *;)

On my V-21 the built-in live-well has a pump as well and aerators on each side. If I had to guess*Well the pump went bad about 30 seconds after I bought the boat (exageration) and now I use the raw water washdown to fill the tank. *Once full and bait is in there I hit the aerators and leave them on the whole time. *This supplies the oxygen and all you have to really do is make sure the water stays cool. * I throw ice in there and/or drain and refill after a while. *It works out really good. *I kept pogies (small menhaden) alive for hours on end this past weekend. *Even had one about 7 or 8 inches long survive for a long time too. At one point I had about 3 dozen finger mullet, 3 dozen pogies, half-dozen baby spots, 3 greenbacks, and a glass minnow - all happy ;D.

I really like those little aerators and never would have thought they would matter that much until I tried them. *The bait stays really frisky! *Hmmm, maybe MJ has an aerator on his PC?!? :o *That would explain things!

I have a 750 GPH bildge pump in it, takes water from bottom and pumps water to the top and out a 3/4 inch pvc pipe with holes in it.

it will keep pogies or scup, herrin for hours!

Runs on my jump starter all day! I change water a few times depending how long I use it?

I am installing a raw water wash down next week for filling and stuff.

And mine is small with handles easy to pick up 20 gal and dump ;D
