I have an older ActionCraft flats boat that has the livewell intakes and drains at the very back of boat, directly above the drain plug. The intakes look similar to a drain plug with no threaded portion extending beyond the stern. My other boat, a center console, has a scoop through-hull intake so I can pump water into the livewell while moving. I can do this with the ActionCraft. I am looking for suggestions on some type of water scoop that might attach to the intake openning other than having to go in and change out the intakes completely. Your suggestions are appreciated.

Fill the livewell before getting on plane. At rest the pump intake is below the water line. That's not the case on plane.

90 degree pvc pipe or fitting from hardware store then a short piece of rubber hose with a 45 cut on bottom that hangs below boat. Problem solved at least it solved the same problem on my boat
