live well ?

you guys that run your live well aerators all day, do you have timers on them or just flip the switch and it runs continuously?

I think it's better to have a timer but either way is ok...Thumbs Up Just make sure you don't run your battery down if it's left on all day...:eek:

Actually both. The top of the switch activates the timer function and the bottom is manual or continuous.

mine will do both like yikess said, just depends on where I place the switch. Spring of the year you are ok with a timer, but the hotter the water gets the more air they need

Mine have both,1 to tell when to come on and 1 to tell how long to run. Turn them on and forget about them.

Timer is more better. This time of the year, I set it for as low an on time as it will allow. Heck, with this water temp, you can throw 'em in a bucket and they'll live for a day. Spring I set it about once every 5 minutes. Even in the summer, I set it for about 50% on and 50% off....the fish are gonna keel over anyhow for the most part, but I want that motor to crank when I hit the key and dang the fish. Now, in a tournament, I'd run it on constant in the summer, but I do keep jumper cables with me as well.
