Got a 85 23'center has an in deck live well i think the thing is made of cast or something very similar, it has an inner liner thing that has bunch of holes all in it either the in or the out just curious if this is standard or something the guy before installed never seen any like it. Appears to be heavy overkill might trash it

I believe on the newer SeaCrafts like yours all the live well are the same they are located about 2’ forward of the transom and just behind the leaning post seat in a hatch like section. I have seen a few, when I re built my older model I moved my live well forward from the transom where yours is located. I had to fabricate mine yours probably is plumbed for a through hull fitting (not sure) any holes would probably be for that. May be someone else can tell you a little more about your mode.

Hi JT... I have an '87 and it is a different setup that I know is factory. It's just a square in deck livewell with semi-rounded off edges. Nothing fancy at all. Whatever you have in there sounds like it is an add on. Which might not be a bad thing! I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to get this live well plumbed. For some reason a small space about 1/4" was left opn all around the top of the LW and when it fills up, the water pours over the top into the bilge. Why on earth would they have done that? Beats me. I'm going to be re-doing that whole system this winter. -Jim
