Live well pump outs

[clem36732]

Why couldn't I replace live well drain valves with pump and tie into the 2 holes on top cap that are for bilge auto and manual? Thanks in advance

Would probably work but I would think about a check valve on the pump out lines so no bilge water got into the live well if you were tying the 2 lines together

I didn't think about that, since the auto and manual each have a pump out hole I was thinking about putting the 2 bilges together and the 2 live wells tighter and then to a pump and out the other hole

If you do this you will reduce the flow of the bilge and pump-out pumps.

If you do this you will reduce the flow of the bilge and pump-out pumps.

This tying the two together will cause a restriction, and if you ever needed to run the two bilge pumps at the same time it wouldn't handle the flow.
