Through hull placement

[Briguy]

I decided to plumb my livewell through my existing transom hole from the origonal livewell on my 1978 23' cc. It works ok but being on the stern, I cannot get water in while under way. I knew this going into the project but thought I'd try it anyhow. Being in Fla, bait dies quickly in an 88+ degree livewell without lots of oxygen and constant fresh water. Now that I know it will not work for my application what do I do? The fuel tank is so huge on this boat I can barely get my hand down to the bilge pumps and the thought of drilling a hole in the bottom of my boat scares the bejeasus out of me. I am also concerned about interfearance with the props or trailer bunks. Any help or suggestions on where to place a bronze scoop style pick up would be helpful. Thanks.
