[QUOTE="hagbard, post: 410875, member: 19255"] Awesome, thanks for the replies. Yes from digging up some other posts about the old trackers it appears as though the 3 holes in the transom are supposed to be live well fill, man drain and live well drain. The two holes on the port and starboard must be over flow drains? Or would there be an intake hole for the aerator? For the leak test are you suggesting to fill the bilge with water and see if it drains by itself which would suggest a hull leak? When i pulled the boat out of the water it did drain for a few minutes but it was a slow drain probably not even a gallon of water and I was on the water for 3 hours. Nothing the bilge pump couldn't keep up with. If I do have a livewell leak I suppose I would have to pull the floor to get that figured out. The floor screws I have tried to pull seem to just spin. Any suggestions on how to get them out? Any suggestions on a removable plug I could use to block the live well intake to also test that theory? I probably wouldn't use the live well that much anyway except to keep suckers and bullheads for live for bait so it might be better off as storage, especially if it is leaking. [/QUOTE]
