Hard to say. Depends on if the deck is above or below the water line?

Trophy is famous for draining everything in the bilge then using the bilge pump to dump it overboard.

The my fish and bait wells are above the water line. Pump feed, but drain and over flow function are gravity functions routed directly overboard with thru hulls.

My 270 Coastal pumps water in and gravity out when it reaches the desired level

Oh yea forgot to say it's the same pump for the wash down with a Y valve on it

So you can't run the bait well and use the wash-down at the same time? That would suck

Yea, still got to fix that

I have figured it out. it has a pump for the bait well and washdown on a tee fitting. no y-valve. fish boxes empty into a box in engine bay where there is a 1000gph Johnson auto pump. drain screens were plugged up. bait well drains by pulling the standpipe out of its holder and drains overboard. I am getting there. now moving forward.
