Abstract
A live well aeration system in which a pump is used to pump water from a sea chest to a bait well containing live bait, wherein the sea chest is provided with a vent line for releasing air from the sea chest, thereby preventing air from entering the pump and causing air lock. The vent line is provided with a valve which is preferably closed at rest, opens in response to rising air, and closes in response to rising water.
