Are live wells on Bass Boats filled with water via the aerator , or are they self filling ?



Thanks all.

Thanks all.

...on our Bass Tracker, the live well is filled via a pump in the stern, through tubing to the aerater head.

Livewell pumps that are fed with a high speed pickup will fill with the pump "OFF" when running, which can confuse some people because they know their pump is off, yet the livewell filled. If you don't want it to fill, close the shut-off valve in the bilge.
