Glastron Boats - Livewell

LIVEWELL
An aerated livewell is included as standard equipment on
some models. The primary function of the livewell is to pro-
vide the means for keeping your catch alive until your day
of fishing ends. Figure 2.9 shows the livewell system on
your Glastron boat.
The livewell system has a pump that draws water in
through a screen on the hull fitting and pumps the water
through an aeration spray nozzle into the livewell. The oxy-
gen content of the water increases as the small jets of
water streaming from the spray nozzle splash onto the sur-
face of the water in the livewell. The additional oxygen
helps keep fish in the livewell alive.
Water above the level of an overflow on the side of the
livewell flows through a hose and out through a fitting on
the side of the boat. Removing a drain plug in the bottom of
the livewell drains water from the livewell through a fitting in
the boat hull below the level of the bottom of the livewell.
To fill the livewell:
1. Be sure the plug is in place in the bottom livewell drain.
