Fish box pumps

My fishbox has a fill pump and drain pump. The fill works fine, I can use it as a giant live bait well (and keep a couple 35# bass alive and happy...I know its wrong but it will keep a lot of fish alive) . The drain works OK and it has a plastic screen of sorts but from time to time scales make its way into the pump and it stops working until I take it off and clean it. I want to replace it with a maserating (sp) pump of some kind that can digest scales and small fish junk. Do you guys have any suggestions? I don't see anything in my west marine that fits the need.

I hate west marine.

yes you need a macerator in there. I'm surprised the fishbox didn't come with one. You should be able to find one that will accomadate you. Macerators are not cheap.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I am also suprised it doesn't have a macerator already.
i don't have one, but from what I have heard these are pretty good:

Mine has a pump that also can be switched to circulate... it works poor at best... I'm adding a bigger pump... a mecerator type.

Sandman I have two small fish boxes that drain but no pump and one very large box under deck that has no fill but a sealand 12v sanipump that can take solids up to 1/2". This came set up this way and it has never clogged. Boat U.S. had them in the catalog at 304.99oke: but this has been a great pump. I have run it in the winter after freeze up and it had frooze but it still worked .

Jabsco makes a good macerator pump, they are usually used on heads, but should do the livewell just fine.
