Cooler into livewell?

[TB2BLAZER]

I have a 2000 180 Sportsman and I want to turn the cooler in front of the cockpit into a livewell like on the fisherman model. I was wondering if anyone had a routing diagram or where to mount the inlet or outlet hoses? I cant seem to find where they are on the fisherman model.

Maybe shoot GW Cust Service a note and ask them if they are willing to share the drawings for the box grid and fiberglass pieces. In parallel, you'll have to take some things apart and see where you can cut to run things. It likely is workable, you just have to want to do it badly enough to go after it. Can tap into the washdown, but will need to run a drain and install a removable tube inside at the right height for overboard discharge.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I just wanted to check out how crazy it would be. I guess I will try customer service see what I can come up with.

You can go with an option like this...

It’s not a fresh water recirculating system but if your just keeping killies alive that’ll work fine.
fill with a bucket.

You ever get help on this? I have a diagram if needed.
