    Livewell pumpout

    I have an '05 TZX 200 which came with the pumpout feature but when i use it it just trickles off of the back of my boat I can barely even get a weigh bag under it and I know its not the pump cause it uses the same pump to fill the livewell which works fine. Anyways I was told I could install the conversion kit to put the pull out hose with nozzle like the newer skeeters have but my local dealer is a jerk and hard to deal with so I was wondering if u guys had any idea of what i need or whom I can talk to to get these parts????

    Flow-rite makes most of the livewell components out there. My boat has 1 side with the hose and the other without. My bag fills faster from the side without the hose. If it is not a trailered weigh-in, I just dip my bag in the lake.

    Chances are you are getting blow by in the valve itself. You can pull the guts out and change the o-rings that seal it off.
    I still wasn't happy with mine (same boat as yours) so I went ahead and pulled out the 500 gph pumps and installed 800 Tsunami pumps.

    Aeration is a lot better and the pump out shoots out just fine now.

    Different model skeeter but i had some 500 GPH pumps and the filling and recirulating was really weak...i've changed them out to the 700's and then later installed the pump out system in my boat....i can say that the bigger pumps work alot better...might check your pumps and see what size you have in there and think about making a swap...
