Gator.....thats probably because your live well is under the same deck as your batterys and fuel compartment. My live well is in front of my console so it runs out into the floor and then into the bilge. The pump....I forget how many gallons per min but it pumps faster than that stand pipe can take it out. Like I say....I fill it half way then turn my timer on and the timed system keeps it full without over flowing.
