Any day now... Will require some handling and testing and packaging here before we can ship. I'd guess we might be able to start shipping in the coming 1-2 weeks.

Fyi... we used the white hatch to help keep the heat down inside the tank.

I realize that but with the constant flow of water i have never had a problem with heat killing off my bait in socal with a black hatch. "To each there own" i prefer the black

Fyi... In prepping these for shipment we had to trim a number of pump intakes. The threads of the pump (white), if protruding even slightly from the intake fitting (black on the bottom of the tanks) can defeat the seal of the intake tube to the tank.

This may be a reason some users have had problems getting Livewells to prime.

If you experience a priming issue... review this fittings seal to the tank. There is a shallow O Ring in the intake connection that must seal.

That makes sense.
The one that shipped and has a picture posted shows a black door?

We are only shipping them with white hatches. Buyers are modifying them and swapping out the white hatch for black or painting due to color preference.

I'll be staying with the white hatch lid due to the texas sun.

I had a full covering of A/C tape on the top of my old one ( just like on my coolers ) to reflect some heat. Works really well.
