Goodmorning,
1993 Boston whaler outrage II 19 ft. : The live bait well behind the leaning post was never hooked up. Does anyone have a picture or a clue as to what is suppose to be there? ie. pump hoses etc.
thanks in advance

Richard,
On my 1992 version, the live well is filled by the raw water pump located in the forward bilge area. This raw water pump draws water from outside the hull through a thru-hull with sea-cock that is also situated in the forward bilge (below the static waterline.) This is the same raw water pump that provides water for the optional deck wash-down.
With the raw wate rpump turned on, the live-well is filled by opening a gate valve spigot inside the live well tank.
There is a second pump that re-circulates water in the live-well, to keep it aerated. This pump is located in the compartment to the right of the live-well tank.
There is a stand-pipe in the live-well, that serves as an overflow/overfill protection. This standpipe secures into a drain in the floor of the livewell, which then drains aft to the engine splash-well. To empty the live-well after use, the stand-pipe is unscrewed from the drain and the water then gravity drains out to the engine splashweel and then out throught the scuppers.
I primarily use the livewell for dry storage.
