I have just bought a 18ft bass boat that has two bait wells in the center of it, one in the front of the boat and one in the back.
The first time I took it out I put the plug drain plug in that I have done on other boats but I did not put a plug in the other hole b/c I assumed it had to do with my bait well. Along with the other plug hole I also have a little pvc tube sticking out that I traced to my aerator pump for the wells.
So anyway the wells filled up immediately once the boat was in the water but when we got back and I took the drain plug out I had an enormous amount of water drain from it (which explained why i could barely get on a plain on the way back in).
So I contacted the guy I bought the boat from and he said I should plug two of the three holes. Does this sound right to anyone? If you look in the bait well you will see a hole that I would think brings water in and out from the ocean and then I also see a sprayer nozzle which would spray the water in from the aerator. Wouldn't I want the water to be able to fill the well when I am not running the aerator?
Ok, I'm lost here, please help?
