KeepAlive - Live Well
The photo below shows the Live Well Sys-
tem on the stern of your boat.
The Live Well system will keep your fi sh
and bait alive. The Live Well system circu-
lates and inserts air into the tank the
fi sh
are in.
Here are the parts installed with the Live
Well System:
PUMP - The pump adds the air and pro-
vides the water
fl ow.
Air Control - The Air Control controls the
amount of air into the tank. Be aware the
more air, the less water
fl ow. The less air,
the more water fl ow.
Pump Switch - Turns the pump on and off.
Check Valve - Only allows water to enter
the tank. Does not allow water to go from
tank to pump.
Bottom Tank Drain - Drain for allowing the
water to re-circulate in the tank. This drain
will also completely drain the tank if used
in conjunction with the Thru-Hull
fi tting.
Strainer - Before the water goes into the
pump it must pass through the strainer.
This strainer must be checked on a daily
basis. Pump will not work correctly if
Strainer is clogged.
Thru-Hull Fitting - this fi tting allows water
to come into the tank, and allows the tank
to drain when used in conjunction with the
bottom drain valve.
Over fl ow - On the top of the tank is an
over fl ow outlet. This outlet is connected to
a hose that drains directly out the stern of
the boat.
CONTROL VALVES
There are two very important valves as-
sociated with your Live Well system:
-Thru-Hull Fitting Valve - this valve is at
the bottom of your boat, and allows the
seawater to come into and out off your
tank.
-Bottom Tank Drain Valve - This valve is
directly below the Tank Bottom Drain and
controls the water coming out of the tank.
NOTE: The position of these valves are
very important!!!
