SEAFLO Livewell & Baitwell Pump Guide for Fishing Boats

SEAFLO Livewell & Baitwell Pump Guide for Fishing Boats

Livewell pumps circulate and aerate water so bait and catch stay alive on long fishing days. SEAFLO offers submersible aerator kits and angled baitwell pumps for tight compartments.

Flow Requirements

Target roughly 5–10 tank volumes per hour. A 20-gallon livewell often needs 500–800 GPH depending on species and ambient temperature.

Submersible vs Inline

Submersible aerators like the 10 Series portable kit drop into the well. Inline pumps suit permanent plumbing with through-hull pickup.

Angled Baitwell Pumps

The 05 Series 800 GPH angled pump fits corner mounts in small baitwells on bay boats and kayaks.

Wiring on Deck

Use a splash-proof switch and fuse near the helm. Keep connectors heat-shrink sealed against spray.
