Locating a Leak in the Livewell System

As your boat gets older, it's not unusual for you to have a leak in the livewell system. Finding those leaks can be challenging. Here's a simple way to see where the leak is coming from.

Thanks for the video, it helped me identify my leak. Contacted Phoenix and parts are on the way.

I located a tiny potential leak but it's hard to believe this could fill my livewell fast enough where I would need to turn on the bilge pump for a couple seconds... this is the second time I filled my bilge area and I just can't see where all this water of mine could be coming in from... so frustrating

Scott, I have been following your videos for a couple years. You have done the best job of showcasing the Phoenix 721's ride & handling characteristics of anyone. I'd like to ask you if your boat has developed any stress cracks over the years. That is my ONLY concern with Phoenix. I've seen a few, and heard of many, with stress cracks around the splashwell/transom area. Obviously, if the hull has been abused....running 60mph across Erie, St. Clair, Toledo Bend, etc. on rough days...it is understandable, but if driven sensibly do they crack anyways. You have proven to be a very cautious, educated operator in your videos, so has yours developed any cracks?

What are those two items that look like oil filters next to the drain plug

Auto bilge. I’ve never seen one work more than 1 month

I wasn’t using the live wells at all and still took on a considerable amount of water. Could they still allow water to come in?
