I like the setup of the dual valves. I usually mount my pumps to a bracket or plate for stability. Cpvc can crack under stress like the boat bouncing up and down.

[@robstone2180]

Dude, I can't say how much I appreciate your detailed Live well series. I have an old Jon Boat that I'm going to re-do, and in my opinion, yours have helped me the most. Been fishing since I could walk but was clueless about the Livewell. Keep up the great work. I live on a lake and can't fish local Tournaments because of certain things a boat must have. Thanks to you guys, my "Little Jon Boat" will soon be lining up with the Big Bucks Boats and will enjoy the looks when I Spank That Bass!! Thanks Again 🎣🐟

Did pluming for several years ur threaded adapter looks like a 3/4 x socket or glue joint .cpvc is intended for hot water and reason some mobile homes use as hot and cold also the size between cpvc and PVC are different cpvc is smaller but do sell adapters cpvc ,x PVC but loved the video quick and easy good job

[@DoingStuffChannel]

Nice! I'm glad you started this so I have a reference! Thanks!

[@fireantfishing]

Awesome! I'm glad you can take something from it!

[@MTTavi01]

damn dude that's nice I just got a 10ft Jon and I want a nice setup and you video is real big help.

[@derrickclark9118]

Thanks for the great video...much appreciated.

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Awesome video Ryan,super helpful 👍

[@TackleJunky81]

Nice work! Looks like a fun project!

[@fireantfishing]

Thanks man!

[@dsbassguide]

Very good detailed video bud, literally have been looking around because I'm doing the same thing you are and thankfully I found your vids! nice work!

[@fireantfishing]

Thats great to hear man. Keep commenting and asking questions on my videos because that helps me know how in detail I need to be to help y'all out. Thanks for watching!

[@johnsteinmetz4861]

If you live in a freezing climate where you store your boat, you will have residual water that wont drain out in the design shown. THis will freeze and burst your lines. You need to have a low center of gravity drain so you can completely drain all the water out at the end of the season.

[@F1reb1ad3]

This is a great video, keep up the good work

[@fireantfishing]

thanks man!

[@langleyoutdoors4129]

It is a very smart idea

[@fireantfishing]

Thanks man

The water circulation in keeping the fish alive is way more important than the aerating . Fish pee in the water and it makes the water Ammonia filled this is what kills the fish . You can aerate all you want and its not going to get rid of the ammonia , Its only going to circulate it . What you are doing is circulating pee water . Water circulation will introduce air into the water as well as get the pee water out and keep it diluted. If you circulate on a timer you will never need to use the aerator . Fresh water in the tank is filled with air already in the water its how fish live . If you are out of the water and you want to keep the fish alive in the tank for the trip home or you have live bait in the tank from home to the water then use the aerator . So get the circulation part done first then work on the aerator done 2nd and your fish and bait will live longer . Also keep the pump low below the water line so it always has water in the pump part or your just be pumping air . I think you are going to find out real fast your setup is not going to work at all until you lower the pump to the main bottom . I might be wrong about the pump it might be a self priming pump . Do they make small pumps now a days that self prime ?

Hi there have a Lund DXL 16 fishing boat with a sick live well. Just have a 2 way on or off switch with one water entry hole. Sure need some ideas

[@fireantfishing]

Check out our newer videos using the Flow-rite kit

[@zoalexander9317]

Thanks for the video really helped

[@BassAmateur99]

Pretty cool

[@mr.brownplumbing]

Good call on cpvc pipe. Only difrence between pvc and cpvc is. Cpvc is poly chloridnated pipe that is rated for uv ray useage. Pvc is not rated for outside elements.

[@cunningtonalonzo7214]

About how much did ur whole project cost and do you think a custom deck and livewell would work in say a 12-15 ft Jon boat

[@ryantaylor3345]

Very cool!!! When you ready to build one for me but honestly how are you guys removing the bench seats I'm to nervous I would destroy my boat can someone please send me a how to viedo on how to install a seat on top of a bench mine is full of foam and I need to figure out how to bolt it down Thanks

[@tcbridges]

Where did you get the gray tank at

[@chipsammich2078]

Does the pump out drain that goes out the side of the boat need to be higher than the livewell ot pump for some reason? I notice this on diagrams and some pumpout kits come with there own through hull fitting. Why cant I just tie into my existing drain that runs down the bottom of the floor through the hull in the bottom rear transom. Hope that makes sense.

[@brandonwilson7356]

Did you have any issue with the pump not picking up the water? It looks like the pump would be higher than the water line inside the tank.

[@fireantfishing]

Yeah i did, the pump later got moved to the the bottom of the livewell

[@strikeforce1915]

How the hell did the parts go together without you touching them,that's weird,do you have special powers or some shit.Wow👏🏻😉

[@stringfellowhawk4843]

So that tsunami pump can prime itself? It'll just draw air until it brings in water?

[@fireantfishing]

yeah i end up changing the placement of pump, this here did not work. this was a huge trial and error time for me, first time installing livewell

[@24ksportfishing]

At 4:20 in, listen carefully, anyone else feel like your watching a walking dead clip ....hahaha

[@donnysbackroadoutdoors5088]

How did you get water to the live well?

[@patrickbale201]

So did it work? Looks like your pump is too high?

[@fireantfishing]

Haha no it didn't, it was too high. I made a couple videos about the livewell and the adjustments I had to make after this one

[@MrWarriorpro]

is the livewell pump going to be able to prime itself? that hi?

[@fireantfishing]

I was thinking about that yesterday evening. It should be ok by the time the water fills up the tube

[@fireantfishing]

+FIREANT FISHING I might have to move it down a little bit I'm not sure yet

[@MrWarriorpro]

id at least get it to the middle are on the bottom of the tank and i dont think it will get all the water out of the tank unless its lower then the tank itself

[@fireantfishing]

+MrWarriorpro I'm going to look into it, thanks for the look out!

[@timothycavey1994]

You forgot to drill holes into the pipes inside the livewell box. No water will go in there without holes dude?

[@cookie19292]

Won’t work.. keep in mind the pump can’t suck the water up it only pushes it.. the pump must be below water level..just a thought good luck

[@fireantfishing]

Nope you are 100% correct. It didn't work

[@michaelkahl8176]

Why didn't you just use 1 pump, a timer, and a riser overflow drain? It would then simply cycle 30 sec every 3 minutes until its full, thereafter giving you fresh water every 3 minutes. Then just a drain with a plug in the bottom? Just wondering if there was a reason you didn't do it that way.

[@F1reb1ad3]

Michael Kahl I like the way he's designed it as in he has complete control of emptying the live well

[@tagreen9790]

CPVC is used for hot water in a house, PVC is used for cold water in a house, that's the difference

[@F1reb1ad3]

TA Green CPVC is used for drinking water (human consumption), PVC is not.

[@ronbenson7158]

they have different outside diameters...in this application cpvc is much better as the o.d. of cpvc is smaller than pvc

[@ronbenson7158]

dead wrong andrew..

[@tcbridges]

Do you recall the size of live-well you got and where to get one at. Also list of what else to buy to complete it. Thanks

[@tcbridges]

Sorry, for the questions I should of watch the really good Video first. Thank You

[@hunterchevaillier9170]

what motor are you putting on the boat?

[@fireantfishing]

It's going to be all electric

[@hunterchevaillier9170]

So you gonna get like a 80lb+ thrust trolling motor?

[@fireantfishing]

+Hunter Chevaillier haha I'm not sure yet to be honest. I think I'm just going to have multiple ones back there

[@hunterchevaillier9170]

to give you any help you may or may not know this, but when fishing its ALOT easier to control the bow with the bow mount trolling motor

[@hunterchevaillier9170]

bow and also boat*

[@ronbenson7158]

he should have used a cpvc union instead of that threaded female fitting

[@fireantfishing]

this design ended up not working and was changed

[@langleyoutdoors4129]

Nothing I do like it I was just messing with you lol

[@langleyoutdoors4129]

I will subscribe for you

[@Aaron-uf8wg]

That pump won’t work their,,they ain’t self priming.that pump has to be below the water level

[@ForrestOutdoors]

Very informative, very cool, sub your way, have a great season from Forrest Outdoors. Check us out when you have time.

[@tcbridges]

I am bad

[@langleyoutdoors4129]

I don't like it

[@fireantfishing]

What don't you like?

[@F1reb1ad3]

Langley Outdoors stop trolling the poor guy! We know the pump is too high, he corrected it in his later videos
