I painted it with 2 coats of white bilge-Kote.
And I know the tank doesn't care if its painted or not and that nobody will ever see in there, but can't seem to help it.
Lets chalk it up to a bit of OCD.

If you seal the hatch of real well and put a drain hole at the bottom that flowed into the bilge why would it matter if i fish hatch t was ere or not?

I cut the live well out because I wanted the storage, and better access to the bilge-pump, transom drain-plug and lower engine mount bolts.
Cut it out pretty easy, then glassed in some pre-fab FRP angle around the opening to make a lip. Modified the existing hatch to sit on top of the lip. Should be pretty water tight in most conditions, without the need for any screws or gaskets or sealants. I hinged the lid too, so it can be opened pretty easily too.
