You didn't mention what pump you have, I would suggest minimum 700gph, the more the better (especially with poggies, i've got a 3400gpr), and a true live well pump, wash down pumps are not meant to run all the time.
Hope this helps.
The fitting has a 90 degree elbow so all set there, I have a Shurflo Pirahna 800gph that I installed and its a dedicated livewell pump. Guess I will put that fitting at the bottom...otherwise it seems good...need to test it again! The overflow does go down hill so hopefully no problems there...Working on it today will post some pics of the progress...Thanks for the tips
