another hobie livewell improvment

After using the Hobie Livewell for the first time, I noticed at the end of the session kelp and sea grass had gotten sucked into the intake tube and clogged the pump, and slowing the motor down for lack of a screen to keep unwanted crap out. So I grabbed a piece insect screen from Home Depot, cut out a section (in the shape of a stop sign) bigger than the diameter of the plastic primer piece and just shoved it into the tube creating a nice screen for the Livewell. The screen is secure, made of synthetic fiber and does not impede the flow of water into the bait tank. The intake tube naturally wedges the screen material over the plastic primer piece and creates an airtight seal with the tubing.
