I used to have that setup and I did use a bucket to fill when using it for a livewell.
I since stared using a cooler as a livewell when needed.
Early on I made the mistake of using that space as a fishbox when striper fishing.
When I drained the box, the large scales of the stripers blocked up the drain pipe that runs under the fuel tank compartment...friggin' disaster!
I use that space for storage now (4 gallon buckets with lids). Also, I cut the bottom out and I have a 2nd bilge pump in there
