  • Livewell Parts, Installation, and Recommendations/Questions

    Hey Johnson Outboard Forum,

    The reason for this post is to ask the community to point me in the right direction when it comes to choosing the right Livewell products and tools for my boat. I currently own a 1997 Stratos 2100 Center Console 21 Ft offshore boat and attached to this post is an image of my vessel. I believe the compartment just forward of my center console would be an ideal spot for a livewell but there is no pre-existing livewell installed. Since I am currently deployed and away from my boat, I do not have the measurements of the compartment but my intentions are to use my boat to go off-shore fishing in Texas and Florida. With that being said;

    1. What products/parts do i need when it comes to installing a complete livewell system?
    2. Is there an exact flow rate/gallons per hour that is specific to keep my bait alive and well when off-shore fishing?
    3. Do i need to run cables through the hull of my boat to my battery and switch on my dash?
    4. Would installing a small screen on the PVC pipe that sucks out the water be a good idea to help the livewell filter last for a longer period of time?

    A diagram with specific instructions or a step-by-step video would be of great help. Hope to hear from you guys soon!

    Each boat is different but you need to take a close look to see if have access to install the thru hull fittings in livewell(in most boats it is impossible to get to back side of tank to install fittings and hoses).
    You would need to install a spray head on upper postion of tank and a drain in bottom of tank, would need to run hoses from transom to tank, Is there enough access to run hoses?
