Hi, I have a 2004 206DC Elite. I am looking at doing a spring project and plan to update and upgrade my live well system, i plan new pumps and hoses and am looking at spray head or maybe convert to two spray heads. as many of you know just getting to the pumps is a chore in this boat so while i am doing this i plan to change all pumps live well and bilge.
i am considering teeing the water spray line in the well so i have a spray head in both sides of the well, i am thinking i can do it with one pump still by upping the GPH then maybe two flow rite spray heads OR should i just put a elbow and a long spray bar the type with a bunch of holes spraying the full length of both wells still with the larger GPH pump.
I know if I go with a larger GPM input pump I should also increase the size of my over flow line to allow for the higher volume of water to drain to avoid over flowing the wells.
I plan to install two new bilge pumps the auto and standard pumps and increase the GPH on them as well. I am thinking the largest I can install and still have the 3/4" lines I didn't want to put bigger holes and fittings through the hull.
Looking for your thoughts on,
#1 - Best live well spray set up for the large split well
#2 - What you feel are the best type of live well and bilge pumps
#3 - What size pumps do you feel are best, i believe on the bilge the bigger the better but i don't know foe sure on the live well
#4 - What type of hoses do you feel are best for these applications
#5 - What is the best sealant for all the thru hull and well fittings
any assistance and recommendation would be great
