There is a recirc pump available thru BPS and other places that attach to
the bottom of your tank for inlet, and attaches to the top of your tank for
an outlet, just be sure to put a screen at the bottom so you don't suck your
fish into it like a vacuum hose. You can use any small volume pump to
achieve the same results.

I have a 1994 Bass Tracker with a livewell that only pumps fresh water in
from the lake. I'm thinking I probably need a reciculating feature as well
and it should not be that difficult to install. What I'm also looking at
is
a pump-out system that is really just an added on valve. I thought as long
as I'm plumbing for the recirculator I might as well install a pump-out
system as well. Are both of these useful to have?

Right now I have a livewell pump in the back of the boat pulling water
from
the transom and pumping it into the top of the livewell. I have a drain
hole
at the bottom of the livewell that leads directly below the water line on
the side of the boat. I have a piece of PVC tubing that I need to stick in
the drain hole that prevents water from coming up and filling a few inches
of the livewell. When the water is pumped into the livewell, it reaches
the
top of this tube and then drains out. Simple and it should work well but I
think I really should be able to recirculate water as well. No? Not that
important?

I'm looking at the following pump-out valve:

Or should I just go with a recirculator installed with what I have now:

(I don't think I'd use a system with a remote switch if I could avoid it)
