| Yes. Our old boat shared with a lever/valve to direct the water to either the wash-down or live well.

| As said before you sure can and that is how my boat is currently set up. One thing I have found is the wasdown pumps don't flow as much as a dedicated livewell pumps, I guess it depends on how often you intend to use it. The pump also has to pull double duty so it may wear out faster and some are not designed to run continously. I would like to change it eventually but I have many other projects that need to be done first. | ||
