Re: how to fix a leaking live well, both hoses
Good to hear you got it back together, but be aware of a couple things. Having the drain and fill lines the same size could allow the livewell to overflow, if there isn't another overflow line. The 3/4 line fill can push more water in than the 3/4 drain line can flow, since the fill line is pressurized. I'd test it the first time out and see if the livewell overflows, would be a bummer to accidentally hit the livewell switch and have it overflow, filling the boat, Also, epoxy isn't the best sealant for livewell hoses since it doesn't expand and contract like marine sealant. If it starts leaking, remove the epoxy any reseal with 3M 5200 or 4200,,, or Attwood polyurethane marine sealant (7200?) available at WalMart.
