Over flow drain hole in livewells

[mvanosdale]

I am wanting seal off my overflow drain holes when I’m running in rough water and such. Does any one know what size plug I need.
Also I bought some livewell drain plugs that are the cheapos but I would like to get some better ones. I forget what the size for the livewell drain hole is. Does any know that size for them and what plug did you guys use

They are 1 1/8”

I bought these. Seem to work OK so far.

I use the plugs that drew linked. They work extremely well. I made a 80 mile run the other day and a lot of it had good 2ft chop white capping holding me back to 40-60mph and I’m sure the fish were taking a beating. I stopped a few times for the fish but every time I looked in the live well the water was still at the same level. I’ve been using these plugs for 3 years and never once had them come out. The plastic ones are junk you need to use the rubber Jon boat style plug.

Drew. What are the sizes for the livewell drain at the bottom. 3/4?

I got some 11/16 stainless plugs from McMaster-Carr that fit the bottom holes just right.
