Djdecuollo, I do have a few suggestions.

First, try the “Search” tab at the top of the page using the words “bait well” and then try “live well”. Might also try the word “timer”.

We followed the suggestion of Dick at Merritt Marine in post:

Baitwell Top and Bottom.

and closed the cut off valve about half way.

We also modified the way water enters the tank by adding the pvc pipe shown in the picture below and described by CalicoKid in the following post. We drilled holes in the top of the PVC pipe that parallels the baitwell top. This should help add more air to the water.

Livewell overflow

We also replaced the standard switch with bait well on-off switch with a variable Levewell Timer from BoatersWorld. The water does NOT have to run all the time. Depending on how you set things up, will determine your setting on the timer. On ours, we fill the tank on “Max” then cut it back to where it is about 1/3 on.

Big Foot Minute Man 2 Variable Livewell Timer
Mfr # BF-LWS-V Our Stock # 478707276 $39.99

So we made three changes: closed valve part way, changed how water enters the compartment, and added the timer. We did this to our 2005 210CC, so your boat may be different.

Hope this helps.
