Here's a quick tip on finding a leak in your livewell system.

Great tip. I've used the reverse osmosis theory to mind many leaks.

Great tip Scott! I did that a couple years back. The automatic bilge pump makes it too easy to keep putting it off.  ::) One day I decided to fill the wells while washing the boat. Took no time at all to find the leaking clamp and tighten it.

I wish I'd been that lucky.  Mine turned out to be a broken fitting on the bottom on the live well.  Pretty sure they put that hose on and then built the boat around it. ~roflmao
