turning a pontoon seat into a live well?

#1 Post by wijames » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:54 am

My new boat has lots of seats but no live well or any place to put one. Does anyone know of a company that makes an insert for a boat seat to turn it into a live well?

My SunCatcher has a livewell in a seat sized cabinet in the port bow of the boat in addition to the "Fish Station" in the back of the boat.

Maybe it could be adapted to your needs as it's about the same height as the seating.

Make it yourself in the seat base. Seal up any screws cut a hole for the drain and fill nozzle your done.

Good idea, Did you seal the holes with fibreglass or just marine sealant?
