If it is the type that you jam into the bottom plastic fitting, those are available in most marine stores as well as online. There are two dimensions you need to know, the diameter of the hole at the bottom of the tank and the length of the tube. The replacement tubes come in various lengths and you need one that is your needed length or longer. The tubes are plastic and can be cut to size. The hole diameter is critical so measure carefully.
here is an example of a straight tube option

I don't use the livewell , I found that a sawed off plastic barrow works better, the round seem to keep the bait live longer they swim round and round. Just my 2 cents.
