Need help plumbing in livewell

[Christopher Quast]

What fittings work good for drains in livewells or do they make a special drain for them I'm clueless on this subject and curious to see what others use for there drain any input would be great

[marine_man]

They make fittings for livewells - they have a flange on both sides to seal drains/ fills, etc. They're not really a special fitting, whatever you think you can get a good seal on and has a hose barb on the other side should work.

You can use what they call a "Bulkhead fitting." They can be picked up at most hardware stores. Seals on both sides. They can come in either hose barb or NPT. Most are either schedule 80 or 40 PVC. Couple bucks a piece.
