1991 21 Walkaround Thru-hull

Postby kaneroberts » Wed Aug 16, 2017 7:12 pm

I plan to install a thru-hull bait tank on [a 1991] 21 Walkaround. [The 1991 21 Walkaround] currently has a live well under seat that isn't working.

Does [a 1991 21 Walkaround] come with a thru hull fitting for that live well [under seat] where I can put a new pump and run hose to new bait tank?

I know I need to glass-in new thru hull fittings if I go that route.

Why can't you look under the deck to see the through-hull on your boat?

The factory live well doesn't work. Does [a 1991 21 WALKAROUND] have a thru-hull pick-up that fills [the live well] that I can use to fill a new thru hull bait tank[?]

Why can't you look under the deck on your 21 WALKAROUND to see if there is a thru-hull fitting you can use? You will have to get under there at some point to hook up the new tank, so I am not sure why you are asking if there is a fitting there. Also, the existence of a thru-hull fitting on someone else's 21 WALKAROUND does not mean there will be one on your boat; the thru-hull fitting may have been an option.

If your boat has a raw water wash down pump, you can buy a dual outlet live well pump and utilize the same thruhull fitting for both the wash down and live well pump. If not, my thru-hull was located on the starboard side in the rear bilge and is probably the best location for this hull. Just make sure it's not mounted in line with any transducers, at it will cause aeration and loss of bottom tracking at higher speeds.
