Glad your safe.! are you missing the Live well strainer . My live well only has one drain and is filled from the top I have a snorkel( best i can explain) it the fits into the drain hole with a screen on top that drains the live well and keeps its from overflowing . just a thought

Mine also. All the Sea Hunt boat are setup with a snorkel that drains from the top.

No boat, back in the suds.

Yes. Same set up but it's not adequate to drain as much water as the pump will push with the spigot open all the way. My old boat was the same way but the live well just overflowed onto the deck. This one has a sealed gasketed cover but there is a gap between the side walls and the top of the well that allows water directly into the bilge. 4 hours of 450 GPH put a #^&#^&#^&#^& load of water in the bilge. It was full to the deck, hatch covers would have been floating if they were wood. I guess it's good to know how much she will take without going under. If it was rough out, I think I'd been in real trouble.
