Then extending pvc pipe drain from fwd box to aft bilge. Then install a fitting to a mascerator to pump out the compartment.
Or- I could seal the compartment, keep the drain from fwd box and use mascerator to empty both, then put a plug or valve to close off fwd box when I don't want it to drain.
Thanks for your ideas and experiences.

Just make sure that mascerator is easy to access. On another boat we've been through 3 in 5yrs. All different brands, never been able to find one that will last and hold up. Maybe its us but we've had terrible luck with em.
Here is my livewell solution. Cut the bottom outta the old one and kept the hatch. I keep all my pumps under there now.....Cant tell you how nice it is to have your own livewell in the corner. Keeps everyone from bum-rushin the center of the boat for bait......
