Livewell pump-out...

[wildkat7]

I found out today why my livewewll pump-out just trickles off the back of deck of my boat. It has 60 GPH pumps in it right now.

Couldn't believe that they would have that small of pumps....

They are being upgraded to 750GPH pumps.

one of mine busted like four touneys into the first year..had to use the wifes piss bucket to fill up the live well..now i think the other one is on th blink and bilge is d.o.a also...junk components

[wildkat7]

fill and bilge are great...it's the recircs that blew...

60 GPH That's nothing. For my livewell pumps i had the 500's but changed them out to 700's and it made a world of difference.

can u buy an aftermarket pumpout for a boat that didnt come with a pumpout? I have a SX200 and would like one

[fishin couillon]

Yes. Assuming you have the rule pumps you can buy tha kit from rule. There is no adding pumps. Just some extra hose, thru hull fitting and and a few extra things. In fact there was a post about this a few months ago and I emailed the rule and got my questions answered. I'll find that link/post and put it up here.

Ok, here is the post i was talking about

Here is the email that i sent to Rule:

I'm inquiring about your pump out system posted at this link. http://flow-rite.com/marine/pr...combo

The setup I have is 2 independent livewells and of course with 2 pumps. According to your website, I have System #3 with out pump out. My question is, if I would want to install the pump out system, all I would have to do is buy the pump out combo and hose that install it from there. Also do the Qwik-lok assemblies come with it or that is a separate item?

Reply:
The pump-out is available in regular barb or Qwik-Lok versions. If you choose the QL version, you will also need 2 of the MA-014 Qwik-Lok sockets for the Pump-Out MA-024-QLR and if you want to use QL at the discharge fitting you will also need a socket there.

If you already have system 3, then you have a designated "RECIRC" position required for the pump-out and you are correct that all you need is the pump-out, hose, and discharge fitting.

As did I....

[Ranger391v]

LOL ..... you go from a 60gpm to a 750 you're gonna think you're at the Bellagio Fountains in Vegas

Now you got me wondering what's in mine. At best my 'fountains' clear the top cap by 4"-6".

I still need to try that drilled out 'stopper' idea I gave you.

Yeah, well...won't be needing that in the near future. The only way you can get water is by pressing the weigh-in bag up against the topcap and let the water run into it....actually easier just to stuff the weigh-in bag down in the livewell and fill it that way. Not any more!!!!

Kind of confused! i have 2 sep livewells, i need 2 to pump out both of them? and i dont have a recirc just an auto button. I might need to come look at yours if you dont mind i live in Kolin. Thanks for the response though

[fishin couillon]

Well I don't have it but I plan on installing it later this year. I have a two seperate livewells also. You can make both pump outs or just one. It's up to you. I know you have the auto button on the dash but the 3 position control "recirculate/empty/auto" should be there.

http://www.basspro.com/webapp/...sults This is the kit that's needed. It will convert one well to pumpout. Plus you will also need the hose. I'll try to come up with some pics to show what's needed.

[DLAB]

no ive got the knobs you turn under the throttle. OPEN or Closed is how its labeled. if you leave it on open they will drain when on plain. closed and they stay filled up

[fishin couillon]

Ok, Doug, looking at the Flow Rite website and what you told me you can not add a pump out system to yours. You have the Open/Closed or Auto/Empty setup. You need the recircutlation mode on your setup for this to work out. Now if you could change the valves and controls i'm sure it could be done but would be lot of work.

[DLAB]

yea. Thanks for the info. guess ill just sit low and deal with it!
