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.
