RCW Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have checked the drain lines and they flow freely, I guess I need to double check my modifications and make sure my holes are large enough to accommodate the flow of water. Thanks for your suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh141 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have been using the Clearview for five years. It is Awesome and easy. I will not have a bait well without one. Cam Watts is great to deal with. This is his ideal and for money its is not worth messing with myself, IMO. The Clearview filter has also allowed me to increase the water level in my bait well.

I will admit I had way too many baits in it but it still clogged even after I removed the excess. Are you using the clear plexi panel with the sleeve? Did you also have a problem with the live wells overflowing into the boat? We have had the problem since the very first time we used the live well and it has been back to the dealer and factory and they have done nothing about it.

It worked well today but I did not have a ton of bait in there. Spent most of yesterday shoulder deep in the live well trying in vain to keep it from over flowing. I had no issues today but want to make the holes in the sleeve a bit bigger and probably add more holes. Skip assures me that they are working this issue now and will have a fix going forward. If the sleeve works this well perhaps it should be part of the live well from the start. Did you also have a problem with the live wells overflowing into the boat?

RCW Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Yes when the stand pipe gets clogged and blocked the live well overflows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a guide I was spending most of my time shoulder deep in the well trying to shoo bait away from the standpipe and trying to put that useless piece of plexiglass back in place. Go to Lowes or HD and get a piece of PVC pipe. There are plenty of photos in this thread as to how to create a sleeve for the standpipe. That is the best fix there is. It works most of the time. Put enough grass, jellyfish and other junk in there with the bait and it will eventually clog. Just wrap your hand around the PVC pipe at the bottom, slide it to the top and throw all the junk away. A couple times of that and its good for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the issues is that so much water has to go down that drain pipe that it creates quite a suction. Any bait or debris that gets near the top of the original standpipe will either go through the holes or begin to clog the holes. Once it's clogged the only place the water can go is up and out...onto the deck. The sleeve fix works very well. That's all you really need to do. Perhaps drill one or 2 small holes low on the standpipe if you want. I chose not to do that as I sometimes want to bring a live well full of water home to keep shrimp alive over night.

No, only when I massively overload *or* dump the net right into the livewell and it gets clogged up with grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I modified the original stand pipe like many. It worked but I bought the clear view stand pipe and have zero issues, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
