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.
Really? My SeaPros had outflow drains above the waterline, and my Parker
does, too.

Those two litle holes on the starboard side of the engine are the
inlet and outlet I believe.

I was on two Sea Pro boats this summer and those were both below the
water line - I know because I helped launch and recover them.

Doesn't mean there ain't no boats with outlets above the waterline,
but I've never seen one.

That's what the stainless steel fitting is for on the transom...it's the
outflow hole for the live well.
Gotta pic of your whole stern?

Get it - whole? Hole?

Not that I don't believe you.
Nope. Those two holes are two of the four outlets for the cockpit drain.
There are two more just like it on the other side of the engine. On my
boat, the holes have a horizontal flap cover.

The round stainless through-hull under the port flap is the drain for
the livewell.

Um...isn't that below the waterline?

If that flapperdoodle thingy is the cockpit drain, and based on the
picture of the stern of your model Parker, that drain is below the
water line.

You draft 15" and that looks more like 12".


Nope. It's above the water line. And it is 15". I'll try to remember to
snap a photo of the stern with the boat in the water.
