livewell volume

Does anyone remember the formula for the volume of water
in your livewell?

Thanks for the help, Rich

For a square: length x width x height.
For a cylinder: pi*r squred* height.

That should get you a good estimate of volume.

I would get a one gallon bucket and fill it til you see what you have. One gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs. give or take a little being salt water.

I've seen a formula before that was length X width X height
and then something converts the cubic dimensions to gallons.

Measurements in inches (Length x Width x Height) x 0.004329004329004
1 inch cube = 0.004329004329004 gallon.

Or after you have your measurements you can plug it here:

Just make sure you have are using the correct unit of measure.

One of the things that I recall from a Six Sigma course that I attended was a problem solving skill, its called the 5 Why's

So, I'll ask


1. Why?

2. Why?

3. Why?

4. Why?

5. Why?



Once you answer these everyone will know why you're asking this question.

Blue waffle has a good online calculator for live well assembly.
