My Lund will fill the livewell but will not empty it unless I put it on the trailer and pull the plugs. Do any of you have a pump that you would recommend? Hand or 12v that would plug into a cig lighter receptacle? Thanks KS

just pull the plugs and let them rest in the bottom of the livewell, and forgrt about it. it will drain by gravity.

Pull the plugs, drive the boat on plane so they drain faster, plug them again, sop out the rest with a sponge (should be less than a quart).

I would like to use the rear livewell on my Lund Pro V tiller as dry storage but don't know how to do it. The rear drain is plugged and I have the "dial" set to recirculate
There are holes higher up covered in screen. Do those need to be removed (screens) and holes plugged? Or is there a hole on outside of boat that needs to be plugged?

The top holes are probably overflow and yes, they need to be plugged if you power off the trailer and the motor forces water up thru them. On my Skeeter, I close the fill valve and both remote drains. But the overflows will partially fill the livewell if I power off the trailer so I plug those as well.
