I dunno. Most recirculating livewells I have seen on small boats (like
all the small boats I have owned) have a bronze inlet in the bottom of
the hull and an overflow that pumps out above the waterline, again, so
you know the overflow is working.

Not that I doubt your experience, but I have never seen an outflow for
a live well on a small boat.

Almost all live well circulation inlet/outlets are below the water
line.
