Back flow through bilge outlet

[Murdock]

The outlet for my bilge pump is on the driver's side of my Tracker Tournament V18. Sometimes when I am by myself the outlet gets under the water level and water flows back through the outlet hole. I was wondering if there shouldn't be a check valve in the hose or something to prevent water from flowing back into the hull. Anyone know about this or if there is something I could do to prevent this? Thanks for any help.

Wierd, I have a Pro 190 and the other night my livewell seemed to keep overflowing. I noticed that it was under sometimes when my partner and I fished off the same side. I remember running the bilge several times to empty. Still not sure why the livewell kept over filling. I noticed because I couldn't hear the aeriator pump shooting water. It was submerged and water sloshing out on the deck!

I have a Tracker Pro 170 and have not had any problems with the bilge. My wife is usually in the back and it has been pretty low ( I have to watch how I put this because she will think I am calling her fat when she is not). I did notice if I have the live well on manual it tends to overfill and run out into the boat. It is like i does not have a large enough overflow tube. If I leave it on the auto fill which runs for 1 minute and off for 3 I don't have that problem. I did shorten the overflow tube a little to keep it filling as full.
