Bait Well System

Your boat may feature a bait well.
A typical bait well system features
• A hi-speed pickup located on
the underside of the hull.
• A seacock valve is attached to
the pickup. The seacock allows
for immediate shutdown
if needed.
• A water pump. This pump is
normally located in the bilge
area or possibly higher in a
storage area.
The water continues from the
pump to the aerator valve and into
the bait well. On some models,
water is also directed to the raw
water wash down from this system. Typically, bait wells have an overflow stand
pipe and a full drain system. The bait well switch is on or near the main dash panel.
The water pump will pump a constant flow of water into the bait well when the sea-
cock is open and the switch is on.
