I have a 93 165 competitor tiller alumacraft. How do you drain the "Bait Well" ? I can fill it with the aerator, but theres no drain. The only thing in the well is the pipe for the recurculator. I have to fix that it doesn't work but the one in the "Live Well" does. Theres only one switch, so I assume its for both, since the one switch for the aerator runs both. I'll send pics when I upload them to my comp. later. Thanks.

They've done it a few ways over the years...

My friend's 14 ft Alumacraft you just unscrew the overflow tube and that opens the hole in the bottom of the well to drain it.

I looked at that, but that will allow it do drain back into the boat, not the back or bottom under the floor to drain from bilge. Kinda wierd thinking maybe a hand pump?


I stand corrected! You are RIGHT! Thank you. The over flow tube pulls up and out to let the bait well drain. There is a pipe connected to it from underneath. Now I just have to figure out why only one of the two fill faucets/pipes are working to fill Live well.
