livewell question

[Dan]

I don't know about all Seacrafts but mine has a 25G below deck livewell. Does anybody use this as an actual livewell and if so how do you have it plumbed? The well simply has a drain plug. I have added an aerator and works good enough for minnows and such but I want something that will support large baits like spots, croakers, and fat backs. I would think I need a free flowing system. Right now I can pull the plug and water will fill up to the water line of the boat but if I take off, the water will obviously drain out unless I put the plug back in. I also have a 30G drum half way converted into a free flowing livewell which is probably the best way to go but it takes up a lot of room. I appreciate any suggestions.
