[QUOTE="user 18775, post: 389377, member: 18775"] Started with installing new thru-hull fittings where the livewell fittings were. Yep, Mr. Thief even messed with those. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/DocArroyo/Crestliner/20150607_112338_zpsmlu0scfx.jpg[/img] I pulled the deadwell and finally figured out why it didn't drain correctly from the beginning. The installer put the drain elbow facing forward, and then pulled the hose tight. Factory installed kink. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/DocArroyo/Crestliner/20150526_192103_zpscnpec88p.jpg[/img] After pulling the deadwell, I reinforced the step with some scrap teak. I will probably glass the wood. Now, after 15 years of not using the deadwell, there is a decision. #1 - Replumb and rewire it correctly. #2 - Don't replumb it, and use the box as storage. #3 - toss the well, and build custom storage.
