    Livewell clarification

    Break in the weather and finally getting to my livewell/electrical project.
    Picture one is an ambarrasingly dirty bilge(not for long).

    Bilge Pic.
    Red pump appears to be the fill pump
    Pump under the hose- bilge
    Pump under the fuel tank- recirculate???

    Livewell pic-
    White exposed hose(only one side)- fill line?
    White stubs at the top of the tank(both sides), recirculate?
    Black screens top and bottom(only on one side)???
    Bottom hole- drain

    The drain actuator is difficult to operate also, any tricks?

    Please clarify any and all.
    Thanks everyone

    Here is my observation and suggestion ...

    Bilge Pic.
    Red pump appears to be the fill pump-- Yes, "Aerate"
    Pump under the hose- bilge -- Yes
    Pump under the fuel tank- recirculate??? -- Since your tank is sitting open toward the transom, I assume that is the recirculator, "Hydro"

    Livewell pic-
    White exposed hose(only one side)- fill line? -- That one is the Hydro aerator. Gets water from the Hydro pump and mixes with air via the venturi (small hole at the top) and injects down in the livewell water.
    White stubs at the top of the tank(both sides), recirculate? -- Those are the fill nozzles
    Black screens top and bottom(only on one side)??? -- Tope one is livewell overflow, bottom one is the recirculate intake.
    Bottom hole- drain -- Yes

    The drain actuator is difficult to operate also, any tricks -- Remove the cable at the valve and see if the valve is hard to turn. If so, pull the top off and put a little grease on the shaft. Do the same at the control in the cockpit. If the cable is hard to move, change it out with a new one unless you find a spot where it is crushed.
