Below the waterline

I got to thinking here a little bit. Would it be better to come through the hull above the waterline, drop a 90 bend and go strait down to the water for the livewell pump... or wouldnt that work?

    You can try that idea w/ a c-clamp as temp. You may knock it off while loading or unloading from a trailer.

    Jeremy,
         As an interesting experiment you can try using two pipes, extending over the stern with differing end angles on them.  If cut right, one should provide suction to drain the livewell while moving while one should provide negative pressure to draw water up into the live well.  It will take experimentation but it's an idea.  Also, how about having a set (or two) of conduit clamps on the stern to hold your tubing flush when you are out.  if you fit em right the tubing should slide up and down and be easily removable while only the clamps will remain permanent.

    I understand the theory behind that but how do you cut the pipe(angles)? Also, I want to make it so I dont have to take stuff off.

    Jeremy,
          I would imagine that if you used 1/2" pvc and put a 1/2>3/4 elbow on both of then with one elbow facing forward to pull water up and one facing backward to create a suction effect then that should work.  One would siphon the water out of your live well and one woul pressure spray the water in when you were moving.  Just a thought.  You would have to rig them so the extended about 1" below the lowest point of your hull to make sure they remained in the water when running.

    Is this a setup without pumps? I want it to run while at a stop.

    Jeremy,
          That system would only work while you were running, and you'd have to monitor it.  But you could just pump while running and still rig up an aireator for when you're siting.  Better yet why not buy one of those portable live wells that are advertised in some of the B****pro magazines?

    I want a permanent solution that operates off a switch.
