MoellerMarine Products Livewell

If you check out all of the reviews on Moeller livewells, you'll see that everyone comments on the lack of hinges & latches on the lid. I have the same complaint. There's no way that you're not going to lose the lid while towing or cruising the boat, PERIOD. You'll also see complaints about the plug. Mine was in pieces at the bottom of the box. Same for the mounting hardware...Mine was missing too. I'm pretty handy so I was prepared for these issues even before I ordered the livewell. On the upside, the livewell itself will probably last forever, it's that sturdy. I also had to design/plumb the pump because Moeller doesn't seem to offer anything. My biggest disappointment is that there are literally hundreds of identical complaints regarding the hinge, latch & plug issues that Moeller has to be aware of and I guess they just don't G.A.S. (Give A S**T). That's too bad, because they could have a great product here with very little modification.If you're not capable or prepared to modify this livewell on you're own, you may want to look elsewhere, but be prepared to pay a lot more. The West Marine tanks are really nice but about 3-4 times the price.

Solid bait well but you have to add all the plumbing features if you want bait to survive. You will need at a minimum an aerator. I also attached a raw water supply and a couple of overflow drains. It only comes with a bottom drain, so be ready to drill.

Well built but had to add some hinges to lid so wouldn't blow off and some 1/4in whether striping to level lid and keep water from splashing out i ordered i beleave 29gal ? Round very happy with it . has a drain plug on the side close to the bottom and was included

This livewell is perfect. I purchased the 40 gallon tank. Two small complaints:1. It would be nice if the drain hole wasn't predrilled that way we could decide where we want it. It is on the side and very close to the bottom. It was a bit of a challenge to get hardware installed to pipe it through my floor. I would prefer it on the bottom of the tank as I'm sure most fishermen would.2. The lid doesn't exactly line up for easy installation of hardware to attach it. It's a bit shorter than where it sits in the closed position so I had to rig it a little for the hinges to lay flat. Other than those two very small things, this oval shaped tank is perfect for what I need. The material is very durable. The only hardware that comes with it is to attach it to your boat and a small plug for the predrilled drain. The plug does fit once you figure out how to use it... It took me a minute to figure it out. I'll add pictures of I can figure out how to do it.

The tank is great but the drain plug is too small

Nice tank but the drain hole is a constant irritant! I finally made a plug from a dowel rod and able to manage after wrapping my wooden plug with teflon tape.

Great product...mine didn't come with a plug or mounting brackets...nevertheless it's a good live well.

Nice unit in general. A lot of money for a plastic container. I could live with the price if the workmanship were decent. Drain plug is defective and won’t stay in. I’ll have to find a replacement. Finger hole (notch) in cover does not even come close to lining up with the one in the tank. I modified it with a rotary rasp so I can get my finger in it now. And like others have noted, this thing really needs hinges on the cover.... otherwise I see it flying off while motoring down the lake. I added some hinges, not that hard except you need some stand-offs or shims as the cover is inset. The hinges are not a defect per-se, but it seems like most people find them necessary.
