Where to connect livewell pump thru hull on 3000SCR?

[Dawnsimon1]

I want to install a bait tank on the swim step of my '97 3000SCR. Does anyone know how I can install the livewell pump, connecting thru hull, where there might be an existing connection that could be used?
I don't want to have to take the boat out of the water if there is some other way of hooking up the pump to pull 700-800gph from the ocean.
Thanks

you could cut your A/C inlet hose after the sea water strainer, and put a plastic T connection in.

the displacement of the boat will always push water upto a point, and it would be rare that you would use the live well, and the A/C at the same time, since the A/C is used when your not fishing.....

that is the only raw water except for the engines, which I would not recommend.

Your could do the same on a Generator if you had one.

If you have a vacuflush, that it dose not take raw water.

For the short run you could always throm a rubber tube over the rail.

makeing more holes in a boats not a good idea...

Buy your dinner at the dock.

I would "T" it off the toilet raw-water inlet. There's already a seacock there. Just disconnect the rubber hose and run off that. If anything goes horribly wrong - just close the seacock!

Thanks for both pieces of feedback. I'll need to check how to run a
a feed from the cabin back to the bait tank at the stern.
