    Question No comments on livewell fitting drag?

    I built a livewell in the back of my boat and used one of those brass strainers for the intake fitting. Aiming toward the front it acts like a scoop helping to prime my pump when the boat is moving. The problem is I installed it on the bottom of the hull near the keel.

    Now I wonder how much drag this little fitting is causing?

    Very little.
    Probably similar to you putting 1 finger in the water up to the 1st knuckle. Or the pitot tube for a speedo.

    Why ask the same question again, mspring? Anyone who has a useful answer is going to read it the first time.
