TURNING AN ORDINARY COOLER INTO A USEABLE LIVEWELL
If you fish from a boat with no livewell or like to fish from a bank than
this easy to follow project might be for you. All you need is an old
cooler and a Super Saver 12 volt livewell aerator system.
If your cooler does not have a drain plug on the side it is easy to
install one.
It is not necessary to have a plug on the side but it can make draining of
water easier.
The Super Saver Livewell runs off of a 12-volt battery. All you need to do
is connect the hose to the aerator bar that is held on by suction cups.
When the battery is connected to alligator clips the pump can be used to
pump water into the cooler until it is high enough for your fish. The pump
is than put in the livewell and will circulate water putting fresh oxygen
into the water. The Mayfair pump is a 500 GPH cartridge pump that can be
used as an emergency bilge pump for a boat. There are different timers
that can be bought to circulate water at different intervals. I personally
hook it to my battery and turn it on periodically. When it is time to
remove the water the plug can be pulled or the pump can be used to pump
the water out of the cooler. When fishing out of boats with no livewells
or fishing from the bank this unit can be very useful. If you have any
questions about the livewell contact me at WildBill@teamunstable.com .
