Jean, I agree w/Willy...honestly that round live-well in the floor is not a good, efficient design...as I recall the sides are beveled on an angle that seems to help water escape out from under the lid. Suggest you get a separate tank like Willy's and use that in-floor well for wet-storage of some kind...
If you do get a separate tank an incoming supply hose can be fitted w/a pump on the end and dropped into the water (boat at rest or idle-speed) to freshen the tank water from time to time...Willy's bucket method works good too so it's just a matter of preference...good luck and let us know what you do...

Nothing wrong with a manual livewell pump and raw water washdown aka bucket.

I used them for years! Average life expectency of those pumps are 80 + years!

Hey, on a similar note I used an "armstrong" starter with my 70 johnnyrude for a couple years. It never failed me.
