Livewell Woes

How I fixed the aerator on my Mako Proskiff 17 livewell. Low cost quick and easy fix anyone can do for a problem known to these great boats.

I have the same problem with both my live wells on my Carolina Skiff. Basically the same setup and I know its a air lock that's causing my issue. Tried rerouting the hoses so that there were no dips or low spots, but that still didn't help much. Now I'm going to try this vent setup as you did and see if that works. Mine goes to a "T" that splits off to the back and forward live bait wells, and if I break the connections at the "T" (pull the hose off) that pump works just fine. I can see the water in the hose that's causing the air lock so the vent should work just like pulling the hose off the "T". Thanks for the idea, it looks like a simple enough fix.

I have front bait and tear live wells that are not working. I’d guess both need to be done the same way. Would it work if I just do it to the discharge line only?

Thank you sir! How do you like the pro skiff? I’ve been on the fence about getting one.

It has pros and cons just like any other boat. I will say it is very stable in rough water

To much noise to start so I didn't look I got my one music

Poor features on all mako boats! I have the 18 lts with the same problem but my live well will not drain and just overflows into the boat mako has known of these problems for years but will not fix them. I will never buy another mako boat again!!
