LIVEWELL SYSTEM
An assembly for a livewell comprises a first fitting and a second fitting. The first fitting is configured to support and provide water to a spray head configured to spray water into a livewell to which the assembly is coupled. The second fitting is coupled to the first fitting and comprises at least two inlets and at least one outlet, the at least one outlet being in fluid communication with the first fitting. A first inlet of the at least two inlets is in fluid communication with a first source of water to provide water from the first source to the spray head. A second inlet of the at least two inlets is in fluid communication with a different second source of water to provide water from the second source to the spray head.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING THE HEALTH OF CAPTIVE FISH IN A MOBILE ENVIRONMENT
A system for maintaining the health of captive fish in a mobile environment, comprising a live well for containing fish in a fluid medium, a plurality of thermoelectric coolers affixed to the live well, and a live well controller for controlling a direct current applied to the thermoelectric coolers, and a method for maintaining a consistent temperature comprising the steps of setting an initial temperature, applying a current to thermoelectric coolers, reading a new temperature, and adjusting the current based at least in part on the new temperature reading.
Live Bait Pen
A live bait pen includes a porous housing having fence framework including a side framework portion, a container surface disposed within the side of framework portion configured for ease of removal of bait within the pen, and an openable lid operably disposed on a top of said side framework portion to provide easy insertion of bait in said pen.

EASY LIFE BAIT BUCKET SYSTEMS
An easy life bait bucket system for an aerated bait container, making a system for holding live fishing bait. The easy life bait bucket system may have an outer-bucket and an inner bait bucket. The outer-bucket and the inner bait bucket are structured and arranged in structural and functional combination to repeatedly fill with live fishing bait, to carry to a desired fishing environment, and to access the live fishing bait with one hand of a user. The outer-bucket may have an inner volume configured to removably-accommodate the inner bait bucket, and a first handle. The inner bait bucket may include an inner-lid, a plurality of water-flow holes, a metal ring-attacher, and a second-handle. The inner lid may have a slotted gasket to access the interior of the inner bait bucket.

PRESSURIZED LIVEWELL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A pressurized livewell system is designed to autonomously maintain a slightly elevated water pressure within the livewell tank, and to keep the tank substantially full of water at all times to prevent injury or death of live bait due to sloshing of water within the tank when the boat is in rough water. The system includes a tank with a lid, a water pressure sensor connected to an electronic controller programmed with an algorithm, which controls voltage to a pump, and a water outflow system including an in-line low pressure check valve. The pressure sensor continuously sends water pressure data to the electronic controller, which uses the algorithm calculations to continuously adjusts pump voltage, and thus water output rate, to maintain a constant pressure, preferably between 0.08 psi and 0.1 psi. The system may be operated in manual mode or automatic mode.

Livewell system
A livewell system for installation on a marine vessel includes a tank configured to hold water, a lid configured to be secured over an opening at an upper end of the tank, and an overflow outlet located proximate the upper end of the tank. When the lid is secured over the opening and the tank is filled with water, an underside of the lid is configured to contact substantially an entire upper surface of the water such that substantially no air gap is present between the upper surface of the water and the lower surface of the lid. A hybrid aerator spray head and venturi fitting coupled to the tank provides oxygenated water into the tank.
