I don't think so, cause there is no opening in there to hook it up to and also is only 3/4", usualy overboard discharge is 1" or bigger and comes out from the bottom of the boat.

just a wild guess, someone had a live well hooked up in the bow area. can you take a water hose and run water through the line you are unsure of and see where the water comes out. i'm guessing the in deck fish box, maybe.

Or it could be a washdown pump, where does the hose feeding the pump come from?

No washdown pump, no water pick up enywhere in the front. Only water pick i have is for the live well on the port rear access hatch.

the water P/U will be just off center of the keel line in the rear. Look under your boat in the rear about 24" forward for a bronze grate looking thru hull with a corresponding pipe above it in the bilge. Likely a bronze pipe about 6"
tall with one or two outlet hoses off a valve with a handle. The outside of the intake is likely bottom painted so you will have to look for the raised spot.
Often the pump was placed right on the valve in the bilge but I guess it would be possible to place it forward.
The Wellcraft dealers would add different options like live well and wash downs systems at a customers request that is why you see so many varied set ups in boats.

I know about that water pick up, is for the live well. Anyway, i went back in the cabin yesterday and i found out that is a raw water washdown pump set us bildge pump. With another words is a manual on/off pump thet picks up the water from under the floor in the cabin. It was installed by the previous owner i guess cause it does not look factory install.

Could not be a live well cause there is no water pick up under or side under the water line.
I will try to shoot water from the thru hull on the side but i doubt it will go thru the pump. It is a weird looking pump, i haven't see something like that. In the front cabin there is a drain in the floor which i pour water with the hose yesterday and all the water was coming out from the rear center drain plug at the bottom of the V.
I will try and get a picture of the pump and maybe someone could identify it.
