You may want to check the live well real good and see if it has an overflow that is just restricted or clogged. In my boat, the aerator head is adjustable by screwing it in or out. If I open it all the way open, like you, my stuff overflows. But if I screw it in, it reduces the flow somewhat, then the overflow can keep up with it.

When I look at the side pisture of the boat at the bottom of the page, it seems to show a port. That might be the intake. In the photo section, the picture of the livewell seems to show the same aerator head I have, and something black behind it I take as the overflow.

Last bit, if its not an overflow, but....you do have a drain plug in teh bottom of the tank. You can create an overflow by finding a piece of pvc tube that will fit into the drain snuggly. Then cut it off so that its about 3 inches shorter than the total depth of the livewell. I had to do this on a boat I put a tank in, but didn't have an overflow and it worked just fine.

I take no offense at all....don't worry about it. I just went out in the dark at 10:30 to check it out again. I have 2 holes in my tank (it's a 2008 model just so you know)....one whole where the water comes in through the pump and spout and the drain hole. The port you mentioned on the side of the boat is the drain for the livewell.

I looked at the link you pasted and that livewell also had a hole either even with or slightly above where the water comes in...mine doesn't (yet). If it's not a whole lot of trouble I may try to add one...still playing with the idea right now. I had a 2072 Grizzly that had the PVC pipe in the drain plug but didn't work worth a crap when you put 5+ lb catfish in it. They kept tipping it over and draining the livewell.

thanx for everyone's help so far.
