Author	Topic:   help. Live well keeps draining out
Bull Islander	posted 08-03-2005 02:34 PM ET (US)         First season with my new 04 dauntless 180. The stern live well has the plunger pole device but the problem is it seem to get itself knocked loose. I assume its the combination of being full of water and the wave action when you run. Of course everything drains out. Not good when you have it full of $2 eels and the day is cut short. Its really a poory executed design. My buddy's boat has the same type system but the plunger has about a 3 inch boot that holds real firm. Dauntless drain does a quick bend so there is no room to extend the boot. Any ideas to tighten this thing up? Who makes the thing?
