We have had our 01 263 for 2-3yrs. now and we primarily bottom fish w/live bait(pogies,cigars,etc.). Our livewell is incorporated into the leaning post and has a bottom drain and also a top or overflow drain, and the supply is in the lower section of the livewell in the side. In the past I typically leave the pump on all the time and let both drains drain free, but in the fall after killing one battery sitting all day in one spot bottom fishing-w/the pump on, I later thought of sticking one of my rubber plugs in the bottom drain hole and just cycling it periodically to keep the water refreshed, and this way it would stay full w/the pump off. I would think that if this is done some baits are more likely to need more water changes than some other heartier breeds. Any experience with this would be much appreciated.
