retrofit a baitwell into a Tournament 19

[andrew]

Hi - I recently bought a '90 Tourny19, and want to install a baitwell. I understand that Grady offered one as option, however wasn't included on mine. Anyone have an success adding a baitwell to their Tourney 19? What brand / model did you use? Any words of advice on installation? Preferred location is immediately forward of the engine, in the well.

Thanks for any info you could share.

caution on keeping a baitwell "Preferred location is immediately forward of the engine, in the well. "

Make sure you have clearance to tilt your engine up fully in an emergency. If time is critical you dont want to have to wait to drain a livewell before tilting the engine up.
