Capt Pat's livewell installation

[Rit Fuller]

I have a livewell of Patrick's that I have never gotten around to installing. Somewhere over the years I've lost the installation documentation and given memory slippage being a force as I age, I'm asking for some advice.

It all seems pretty straight forward, but he did mention 2 small hidden screws... and I have no memory about the wheres, hows, whys of these screws.

Is there anyone out there that can help me detailing the installation of these livewells.

Best I can offer is his rundown on this item.

Very interesting. It appears the livewell drains through the bottom?

Thanks for the reply Carl.

I've looked thru Pat's online livewell docs and can't seem to find anything in detail. I'm hoping that someone here who had installed his livewell can give me a bit of advice or may even have the original installation docs stuffed away in their junk drawer.

Rit, as the post is sitting here for a week, I'll give it a bump.

I read Captains Patrick s write-up on the live well last night. He does mention blind screw holes encapsulated in solid resin not to allow passage of water to the insulation. Maybe one set of holes are for mounting that would be hidden when done. Or mounting hardware. I think I'd go over the live well and top with a fine tooth comb looking for drilled holes ready to take a screw. Look for anything that may need to be disassembled requiring a fastener, something like hose, or barb connections and fittings.
