I have a 1 gallon shop vac for the boat and cars, I dump it out, switch it to a blower, start on my "pump outs" from the outside of the boat blowing into the livewell, 2- from the ejection of the recirculate pumps blow it backwards, 3 then take the screen off my drains and blow/ wipe out with a couple dry rags the drain pipes, 4 the fill opening in the livewell pushing out the transom, 5 both of my bilge pumps from the outside into the hull. (all these steps are using gravity and the air to push the water out, I put the hose of the sop vac flat on flat space or over nozzles to a flat space to make a seal). None of these pumps form a tight seal and air and water can rush backwards and out. My 8 pumps in my bass boat are all single function, adding in a split usage like pump out and recirculate you would just have to think it through and blow each one twice to make sure. You will see the water explosion in the livewell s and on the ground if done this way.
