Installation:
Please follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure maximum efficiency in your
Livewell/Baitwell pump operation.
1) Pump should be installed below the water line to ensure a flooded suction to the
pump.
2) Install a 1” seacock below the waterline in your boat. Warning: Failure to install a
seacock may subject your vessel to flooding.
3) Install a thru hull pickup with a filter grate to reduce or eliminate debris from
entering the seacock and ultimately your Livewell/Baitwell pump.
4) Install your seacock and Livewell/Baitwell pump using pipe tape sealant such as
Teflon tape on all threaded connections.
5) Attach Teflon tape or pipe tape sealant to a 1” NPT nipple that will screw on to
your Livewell/Baitwell pump on one side and the other side to your 1” seacock.
The Livewell/Baitwell pump is equipped with 1 1/8” or 1 ¼” Barbed ports. The port
threads into the discharge area of the pump. Make sure to apply thread sealant to the port
threads. Tighten port until port is bottomed out with pump body. If the
Livewell/Baitwell pump is to be mounted in a horizontal position, make sure the
discharge is pointing in an upward position to allow air to vent.
1) Fasten your reinforced hose from the pump port to the LiveWell/Baitwell tank.
Avoid sharp bends or loops. Support the hose if necessary. Note: In order to prevent
air locks it is important that the hose is not to be allowed to dip below the pump
outlet. The hose should be constantly rising.
