The boat has a 15 Gal. livewell under the seat behind the big livewell(40-45gal.) the big livewell drains into the small livewell then out..
each tank has it's own pump.
do yaa think I fish with live bait much

Anyone use the non skip pad ??
Do they work??
HEY,,, I KNOW WHERE THAT 55 gal TANK CAME FROM !!!!

My tank is low profile, and all I did was use a sheet of thin neoprene I got at work as an (antiskid). Once it has 40 gals of water in it, it don't move no matter what. But it does block the bildge hatch. Still I can get to the bildge through the slashwell hatch if I have to. I posted a pic and you can kind of see it behind me, thats the best pic I have of it (O wow there is a fish in that pic too). I run the feed through one of the rod holder holes near the transom with a 1" plastic ball valve run the hose along the edge of the floor between the gunnel and splashwell to the bottom of the tank, with a 90 so the water circulates, and two overflows into the splashwell.
