    Live Well on my Fish & Ski

    I have an 04 SL210. There is no recirculation there is only a manual and a auto fill. Gravity is supposed to keep the live well from over flowing according to Skeeter by keeping the plugs out or using the L tubes in stead of the plugs when auto fill is turned on. Problem is the wells overflow. I tried a hole in the elbow of the L tube but this made no difference. Am I missing something??
    The L tube is a L shaped tube that plugs into the drain hole and is open at the top.

    Thanks
    Steve

    I suspect the pump is capable of outflowing the drain capacity. Your fill nozzle should have a valve on it that will allow restricting the incoming flow.

    you may want to check your switch, mine toggles 2 ways, one is to fill the other is to add additional water (and oxygen) about every 3 - 5 minutes, if i have mine on fill it will overflow but i have never had it happen on the other...

    I have the same 2 positions on my toggle switch but even the "auto" (fills ever 3-5 minutes) will cause it to overflow. Do you have the L tubes or standpipes as they are called?

    I fish tx every week out of my SL, My wells allways over filled and would flow into the sump, I would have to run the bilge pump every hour, so I put a recirc pump in and a timer, now I just fill it up, then turn on the recirc pump, cost under $75
