I catch and release and havent used the livewell yet. Not until the wife wants fish for supper will it be used. Didnt see any water leaking in after running bilge until water was all pumped out. Ill try and run it tomorrow afternoon and see if I can duplicate it. I fished 6 hrs and was headed in when it happened. Not too worried now if something simple as a fitting. By the way, awesome bad to the bone boat! Always have someone at the ramp tell me how sharp it is. Wife says I love that boat more than her.
