Live well ideas?

[Bonita Dan]

Like the other feller said,put an abovedeck well on board. I made one out of a 30gal. plastic drum and connected it to my washdown with a y-splitter and a recirc pump that,well you guessed it recircs the water and is also used to pump the water overboard instead of into the bilge. Lets see how the picture posting thing goes,please stand by!

Alright,the pic thing aint workin for me. I'll try again at a later date with some fresh pics. Oh,the wells you are talkin about,are they the ones mounted in the transom cap?

I took a 5 gallon bucket and first cut out a door in the top and added a hing. I then drilled an upper hole which I screwed in a 90 degree brass fitting which I attached a hose which ran down the side of the bucket. I used another 90 degree brass fittinng which turned it out with another hose that could fit through my rear floor drain which runs into my splash well. I also drilled another hole on the other side of the bucket which I attached a nipple for a quick release hose fitting. When I need a live well I just snape the hose to my wash down to the bucket and throw on the switch and it works great. I did have to add a peice to the hose from the pump so I could control the water flow.
