Screened live well is on port. This hole has not been in any past boat I’be had. Bilge and live well outlets are above waterline starboard side. What’s it for? I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

My 190CS Alumacraft had the intake in that spot. It also had two live wells, one on the port side and the other on the starboard stern. walleyed "Provisional/Interim" member of NYS Trappers Association Jefferson Co.
