talk about cutting twice and measuring once, i cut a new inlet hole near the top of the live well and extended the lower inlet hose up to the new inlet i put a valve on the new outlet so i could regulate the flow to keep it from overflowing the livewell .i then ran a hose from the old inlet and teed it into the overflow line.my illogical (yes another reason the boat got it's name) reasoning was since the 01 models fuel tanks were so large that they covered the complete bottom of the livewell ,there was nowhere to put drain out the bottom,so the livewell water drained on the deck and into the bilge and i didnt want that. i figured i would tie into the drain line and empty the water thru it. the old inlet has a screw in plug that i pull and all the water dumps out .
yep , i am the guy that keeps saying water in the bilge and on the deck is not an issue ,but in this case that water was running over my fuel sending unit on the top of tank and i had to replace the original one due to it rusting away.
if i had a do over, i would have figured out a way to have put a removable extension pipe up to the top of the livewell and then be able to pull it and let the water drain back thru the pump at the end of the trip---
oh well my way works and i dont have a problem with what i did
