Livewell Plumbing Installation Tutorial 2021

Livewell Plumbing Installation Tutorial 2021
This is a livewell plumbing video for your jon boat. This livewell plumbing tutorial should give a good look at how your livewell setup should look and work and I will attach a livewell diagram below. You have a few options from Flow-rite, as well as the ability to add a DIY livewell to your boat. This custom livewell shows the best pump for a livewell as well as how to install. Feel free to use this application in your bass boat as well.

Though your video can be of great info. But I could not watch it more than one third. Because you repeat yourself to many times. Sorry

[@storminnorman3367]

You made something that seems really difficult seem fairly straightforward.

[@AlIsUpOutdoors]

I like how you slow things down to explain in just a little more detail than some other channels. Not to take anything away from them, they just explain and show things a little bit differently.

[@fishntools]

I'd rather have the clamp fittings. You're placing a LOT of faith in the QD connections! (If it can go wrong, it will!) PS- ALWAYS insulate your tank!

[@fireantfishing]

do now

[@shanepeter1616]

YES!!!!Great video!! I've been dying for this one to come out....this one and the electrical. Great explanations as always. 👊

[@gabrielboucher9155]

do you have any recomandation on where i should drill the hole is there some danger zone on the transom or anywhere that fit is good ?

[@fireantfishing]

which hole?

[@tylerroberts9486]

Dude made this whole kit made complete sense granted I haven’t ordered it quite yet but will be sooner or later

[@albertkeyth7745]

Very good explications and yeah you say it buddy, we have different boats and we gone top whit some corners and small space that we must improve our selfs whit it..great clip and yeah when i will can do this order whit my PREMIUM kit i will do it for its that money maker on our TBNation bass boat project bud. Albert here from Spain big hug and be safe.

[@talktolee]

Sorry for the probably ignorant comment / question. At the 24:20 mark, I don't get the point of the drain hole out the side of the boat. I get the pump, pumping in water to the livewell, but what is purpose of allowing it to "drain" from that side when you have the drain in the bottom of the livewell and also the overflow on the opposite side. Seems at least in my head kind of pointless. I guess I don't see the point of of that component. I haven't seen the full application of one of these systems so maybe I am missing some of the core functionality.

[@anellowilliam]

I have important question in order to pump water out of tank, can you make it drain while in the water with a side of boat hole instead of back where pump is connected. So don't you need an extra hose and or T connection somewhere when u pull the aretor Because in all install videos it just pumps out back drain. Can you explain or maybe a detailed video for it. I cannot find one to explain that process.

[@PopPopJoe]

Can this pump pull the water up with suction or does the water need to be fed to pumps suction side?

[@fireantfishing]

Water will need to be fed to the pump, this is why it is important to have the pump mounted as low in the hull as possible. This pump pushes, it does not suck

[@PopPopJoe]

@@fireantfishing copy thanks!

[@captainjayc9217]

I believe in the "3-pumps for one livewell" situation, the third pump is for recirculating water in the livewell. In case, the boat is in a body of water where the temperature of the water surface is high, and you don't want the warm water to be introduced into the livewell, you shut off the other two pumps, and only run the recirculating pump. Then the recirculating pump can at least aerate the livewell. When you get out from that body of warm water, you can then turn on the other two pumps to get "fresh" water into the livewell. I am not sure if this is really relevant to your area; I doubt I need it because I live in the north. Having said this, the Flow-Rite livewell system seems to be able to use one pump for both recirculating and constantly getting "fresh" water into the livewell.

[@fireantfishing]

good point!

[@benhightowerv]

Awesome video bro, very helpful. Definitely gonna do one of these in my boat

[@fullblownstudios]

Only reason I haven’t bought is because I can’t find the kit with the red switch, only the green switch, you say stay away from The green switch, it is listed in the kit you have tagged ???

[@fireantfishing]

There is a green and an orange, our kits only have the orange👍👍

[@willjunkin732]

Seems like a really good kit. That boat is coming along nicely. Keep up the great work. 20k 👍🏻

[@fireantfishing]

Thanks Will!

[@RandomJ2023]

Excellent step by step, but one thing I am confused with is which hoses go where. Is there a diagram ?

[@fireantfishing]

Shoot me a message on IG or FB and I can send you pics 👍👍

[@ThatOldMan2112]

Am I the only one wondering about those four holes through the hull to either side of the through-hull pickup in the back?

[@fireantfishing]

yes?

[@GregHastings]

Nice work, Sir. HooYah

[@chasegarrison2795]

Quick question On the overflow valve, if you were to send the plumbing back to the transom and have it come out below the waterline would the back pressure from the opening sitting below the waterline cause the overflow to back up and not drain out of the boat? Im currently building a live well myself

[@fireantfishing]

The overflow will be controlled by gravity meaning the water in the overflow hose will only get as high as the waterline on the outside of the boat. If your hose is attached to the tank lower than the waterline then yes you will have some issues

[@MisoJuice]

Do you have regular flush mount livewell drains that aren’t flowrite quick connect?

[@fireantfishing]

I do belive Flow-rite makes some that are not Quik Disconnects

[@MisoJuice]

Only thing I don’t get is how the pump out works if it’s about the livewell water line.

[@coloradogix5016]

This is the same question that I have

[@MisoJuice]

Do you have regular flush mount fittings for the bottom of the livewells that aren’t for quick connects??

[@joshual9759]

Very dope build my guy!

[@Avrageoutdoorguy]

Nice kit but really pricey

[@iBaloo42]

I love what you are doing, and your builds are some of the neatest out there. I also think that you are explaining everything most understandably. I hope my question does not offend you, but isn't the black tube used here a bit over the top? There are cheaper reinforced tubes out there that would satisfy generously the needed pressure and temperature for a livewell system. What am I missing?

[@maxmccormack6545]

Why would you need an over flow ? If you just fill it ,then recirculate, and then drain when your done. If you do that all properly it should never over flow right? I guess Unless the valve fails

[@fireantfishing]

Correct, it’s just for safety, incase you forget to turn off the pump. I’m sure it happens more than we know haha

[@maxmccormack6545]

@@fireantfishing oh ok thanks for the response!

[@steveodonnell2921]

When recirculating fresh water you need the overflow for the automatic cycle

[@chrisbruni3954]

Great Vid!

[@0tisLiP2021]

Hey bud I’m right outside of douglasville ga . I need some tips on running my flow rite to two live wells

[@charlesjones257]

great vid. just a few comments. there is no law that says the livewell pump has to feed from the transom. there appears to be a loop in the overflow that will hold water and freeze in the off season. all lines should drain with no sags to hold water. keep on!!

[@codynix7830]

Do you recommend foaming around the aluminum live well to keep it cooler in the summer months ? My concern would be the aluminum would heat up the water when it gets hot

[@stephenhoward6168]

Just a heads up. Where you screwed the cable to the valve, you need to slide the black part all the way back where it clamps to the thick end part of the black cable. You might not get a full open/close otherwise. Cheers.

[@drjaywhitlock]

Great videos!

[@MrDirtDive]

We asked, you answered. You rock bro

[@fireantfishing]

Thanks Robert

[@kayden8237]

Does that pump, pump water constantly?

[@fireantfishing]

Only if the switch is in the constant position

[@MisoJuice]

Well. Looks like that angle drill was worth the money. Lol

[@johnlawton4416]

Not seeing your link to the picture on you phone - ie the live well diagram pic

[@donnieandjillvandyke4807]

Looks good where do we get this kit. I wa t to redo my Lake and bay

[@maddgoatee9708]

You made that look easy. And explained the install and components very well. Thank you for the great info.

[@muthagoose00]

not loving that hard 90 on the flex line off of the pump..

[@fireantfishing]

Have you had issues doing that?

[@muthagoose00]

@@fireantfishing havent used this kit yet, but it just looks stressed.able to move that bracket toward the stern? and shorten the line between inlet and pump?

[@ChuckNorris01]

Thanks bro I needed this! The others on KZbin was not as clear
