2007 Wellcraft Sportsman 220 Fishboxes won't drain
I have a 2007 Wellcraft Sportsman 220 with fish boxes on each side near the stern of the boat. They are full and clogged and won't drain. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this boat. I am a new boater and I've read that that may be a pump to fix this, but I assumed they would just drain out of a scupper valve on either side of the boat. Maybe I'm wrong. Just looking for some guidance, please. I haven't run in to anyone else who owns a 2002-2007 Sportsman 220. Apparently, we are a rare breed... and maybe we just have bad taste. I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance.

Re: 2007 Wellcraft Sportsman 220 Fishboxes won't drain
I think I have a problem with the same drainage system. I just bought a 2005 sportman 220. The previous owner disconnected the pump that connects to the drains at the bottom the livewell and fishboxes and left 2 disconnected hoses. If I put water in the fish boxes water comes out one of the disconnected hoses ending near the bilge pump. They plugged the transom thru hull drain so the water will not come in the boat from the disconnected hoses. The livewell drain on the bottom of the livewell does not drain because of plug. I can see were the pump was installed, the mounting hardware is sill there. One disconnected hose comes right to the mounting hardware. The other disconnected hose ends near the bilge pump. I need to figure out what kind of pump to buy and figure out why one of the disconnected hoses ends near the bilge pump rather that near the missing pump? Can you take some pictures? of plumbing and pump connections so I can figure out how to back to original set up. I will need to remove the plug in the transom thru hull.
Thank you,
Tom C
