    Livewell Fill Pump - Hydro Air

    Going through my newly acquired 2001 -181... And I'm curious, shouldn't I have a livewell fill pump and a separate pump for the hydro air?.... I'm assuming the top one is the bilge and the one against the hull is the livewell fill... But pics I found online show the one against the hull is the hydro air... I'm Confused? Any help would be appreciated20181104_160306-1008x756.jpg.

    Your switch labeled Aerator is the fill pump..low in bilge. The hydro pump is low on the back wall of the live well if you have the hydro option... you also should have a bilge pump in the bottom.

    I have the hydro air switch.... I just don't see where it is located… is it out of view behind the tank?

    Should be a removable panel and it's behind that..all other pumps are in the bilge under everything.

    Doesn’t look like he has a removable panel, I’m thinking his boat doesn’t have the recirculating pump, wouldn’t be that hard to find if he did.

    Pump #1 is the hydro air pump behind the removable panel, mounted to the back of the live well.
