A close fishing buddy talked me into live-lining spot for stripers and blues. Told him I didn't have a livewell, and he told me not to worry. He would bring the livewell, if I provided the rawwater washdown. Worked perfectly...and best part, is I can remove it and recapture the big "dance floor" on that Parker for those times when we have guests and BBQs on board.
It consists of nothing more than a plastic 32 gal garbage can with a 2" hole drilled in the side about 8" down from the top. The raw water washdown hose goes into the hole, and the water flows out onto the deck and out the scuppers. Ran like this for about 10 hours and keep 30 spot alive on a very hot (95 deg, 90% humidity) day. Not a single spot died. We used about 12, and tossed the rest overboard at the end of the day.
