Instead of pumping it out, why not just have an overflow valve/tube? You would never have to worry about over filling or the level. Just wondering if I am missing something crucial.

Great question. I tried that on my last one, with a 350gph pump and a one inch overflow it constantly was overflowing the tank. I had to put a ball valve on the pump hose and just let the water trickle in.I wanted as much water in and out as possible on this one .It would take a massive overflow hole to keep up with an 800gph pump. A friend Of mine has his set up with an overflow and he has a 4” drain to keep up with the pump. An overflow also has to exit the boat below the waterline in the tank which isn’t possible in my boat unless I let the tank fill almost completely up to the top or cut a hole in the side of my boat. you could simply let it empty into the boat and let the bilge pump pump it out, but then you have 2 pumps running again. Without the pump in the livewell I would also lose the ability to recirculate the water. This has just been my experience, I Hope this answered your question, thanks for watching.

We may have to send Cat Fish Dave one of these pumps. He’s always saying his boat has no pump. LOL.

You never cease to amaze me with this stuff. You’re a genius lol.

Looks like chocolate milk in all our lakes right now. A week of snow and ice, then a week of melt runoff, then a flood. Hope the weather settles down soon.

I made one out of a smaller aluminum tool Box but I just throw a pump over the side with no through Hull and I also insulated the inside of my tank with some foam and painted it with that rubber paint that seals it to keep the heat out

U really simplified a subject that I was making more complicated than it needed to be. Thank you

That's a great idea and awesome execution, but My boat isn't big enough to hold an extra 640 lbs of water+ tank. Wish it was, but sadly it's not. I still hope you guys do well in the upcoming tournaments, and the live wells perform as well as they look. Tight lines, and sore lips fellas.👍

Man, that's awesome brotha. Gotta build me one for my boat, for tourneys this year. You couldn't have posted it at a better time. Thanks!

I really like the adjustable part at the end. Very smart.

Amazing job I was looking for a idea for a live well and I just found it brother ill be building mine tomorrow thank you very much be safe and God bless you and your family brother

You can put a float switch on the inflow pump so that if the water level gets too high it will automatically shut off so that your output pump can catch up. No valve restriction needed.

Im so jealous of that shop setup🤤🤤

Great video Brother I'm in the process of building a live well for my boat and I wasn't sure how I needed to plumb it You pretty much answered my questions Thanks

That's a great DIY brother very nice and original never seen one but COOL

Nice, well.now I know who to call when I build one

That’s a slick setup!!!!!! Awesome brother!!!

Very fine job. Always enjoy your videos. My tank just has a high water overfill. I turn the pump on and let it run as the water gets high it just runs out the over fill. When the boat is running I have a Metal Marine pump kit that has a lift arm and spray head to keep air and water moving. Tank only needs two holes, one for the inflow, one for the over fill.

Great and clean setup; Well done

That is pretty dang cool. Good job

Great Job Hagen !!

Great solution. I'd say you can put an overflow opening at the desired water level and only need to pump water in. once it hits the overflow, it will drain out. this keeps you from having to worry it about pumping it out, ensuring that you'll never overflow.

Very nice HG! I hope your fill it with a monster cat!

Safety tip, your pvc cutter will cut the vinyl tubing as well. Otherwise keep up the great content

You'd be better off putting an overflow tube/strainer in the tank than having the tandem pumps. More reliable, less power, etc. Look at how fishtank overflows are set up.

Great build! You say it holds 80 gals? What are the dimensions on the box if you don't mind me asking.

That’s awesome man, you got my wheels turning ?

Hey brother awesome livewell what is the name of the grey fittings and where did you buy them???

One question, what about an extra filter added for the pumps to help protect them? Would it be useful or more of a hindrance? Just curious.

Hows the boat ride with all that weight. Im 14 foot, so ide be nose up REAL bad with a 20 gal😂. Time to step my game up

Do they pumps have to be primed ? My new pump will not put water in my live well.

My pump is mounted under the surface of the water on the transom and it works fine. On another boat I did try to run the pump above the water and pump water over in in the tank and never could get it to work. Not sure if that’s your problem or not. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching.

Great design and a super video! One question; where did you find the valves you used inside the tank? Thx.

You could add in a timer switch to run a drain cycle and then a fill cycle say ever 15 minutes. 60 second drain and a 60 second fill to turn the water and save on battery

where did you get the spray values

Awesome only thing id be worried about is the tool box getting hot and over heating the fish in the sun. Night time golden even with water pumping in and out constant that's a lot of exposed alum soaking up the sun and heat and transferring it into the water.
