leaking livewell

[billy sharp]

I think I have a leaking live well hose some where close to the inlet. Water leaks into the bilge when in the water and while sitting in my drive way when I drain it. I do not see any easy way to change out the inlet hose without major removal of the deck--anyone have ideas==I thought about running a smaller hose from the live well tank through the opening where the water drains out and sealing both ends

Not likely to work well...

Best is figure out a way to do it right. there should be a way to access the hose without pulling the boat apart. I found one hose on my livewell that looked like it went somewhere I couldn't get to, but it turned out to just be looped forward under the well. (for no reason that I could ever figure out...) and that connected to the tiny air hose for the bubbles.

I know some times it seem like there isn't accessibility to such things, but even though you may not be able to see it, maybe you can just feel your way to fix it. :noidea:
