Bass Boat Live Well Leaks

I'm leak testing my 1984 Ranger 395 V i/o bass boat. . I recently bought this boat and I've been fixing it up. The motor is out and before I put it back in the boat, and before I put it on the lake, I want to leak test the live wells. And yep, I found some leaks I was not expecting!
Leak testing live wells on a bass boat is essential to ensure optimal performance, safety, and fish preservation. Over time, seals, hoses, and fittings can deteriorate or shift, leading to water leaks that may compromise the boat’s flotation and damage electrical components. Regular leak testing helps identify and fix small issues before they become costly repairs or safety hazards. Additionally, a properly sealed live well maintains consistent water levels and oxygenation, which is critical for keeping your catch healthy during tournaments or long fishing trips. For any serious angler, leak testing live wells on a bass boat is a smart, proactive step in routine maintenance that protects your gear, your investment, and your fish.
