[pair of jacks]

The well does fill up entirely, I wasn't clear enough in my post. I am not aware of any way to close the overflow port. I totally agree with you about the livewell location. If I had my choice, I would much prefer a leaning post livewell - that way, it would stay dry and clean until its needed. Presently, every time it rains or I wash down it fills up- I always drain it and prop it open so it stays dry and free from algae.
