    Live well system

    I have a 1975 Ranger and it obviously doesn't have a nice new live well system with the pumps and the switches and everything. I need pumps and all new plumbing for both live wells because its cracked. How would I go about installing that and how much would it cost? Thanks.......

    Check out flow-rite.com. These are some of the best livewell components available. With a little reading you'll be able to figure out just what you need. Does that boat have front and rear or only rear livewells?

    Re: Live well system (LOZ Pete)

    When I bought my boat the live well lines were cracked. When I started to look at the project I found that the lines were rigid PVC pipe rather than flexible hose. The bilge pump was also not working. I had a mechanic who used to work for Nichol's marine put in two pumps, new thru-hull fittings,open/closed valve and replace all the pipes with hose. It was $350.00. It has worked perfectly since then.
