Working on a 1981 16 foot Aluminum deep vee Pikemaster boat. At one time there was a livewell. Previous owners removed it. The only reason I know there was a livewell is due to the fill pump in the bottom of the bow and an overflow hole on the port side of the hull.
I?m having a stainless steel tank custom built but plan to do the plumbing and wiring myself.
I?ve done some research but still have a few holes in my answers as to how this all goes together. I?m going to use Flow Rite fittings and hose. I?m open on what pumps to use but in diagrams and drawings of livewell systems they show the pumps with a 90 degree elbow coming out of the bottom of the pumps. But when I look for pumps online to purchase they all have a long straight tube that comes out of the bottom. Is there a fitting that goes on this piece or is it an entirely different pump?
Any insight, suggestions, comments would be greatly appreciated.
