Anyone ever have their livewell drain blocked. I tried using a hose to clear it and that did not work. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

try the hose from the outside in or try to snake it. I've had mussels clog up my scups- make sure the thru-hull is clear.

Mussels would not clog it since it drains above the water line. But snaking it is the way to go. If no results, then un-clamp / pull out the drain hose to examine / clear.
