does anyone have a picture with the livewell controls in it ? i have a 83 skeeter sf 175 im restoring and i guess someone stripped the livewell controls out of it and i have no clue where they were or what it is supposed to have, maybe if someone has one of these boats they could take a pic and post it ? thank you in advance
Odie,
I'm not familiar in particular with a Skeeter, but the principal should be the same. I'll explain for a two live well system, with two separate drains ( some boats had one control / drain for both live wells )
You should have two hoses, one coming from each livewell. As they approach the stern, and about two feet from the transom is where the valves will be. They will then connect to a common hose with a tee, which will then exit the transom fitting.
Here's a picture of mine after I removed them. The two "ends" on the right are from the live well side, and the one on the left heads to the transom.

I replaced both valves, new cables, and controls with ones from Flow-rite.

There is a good live well builder app on Flow-rite's web site, It really helps to understand how they work and will give you ideas if you want to 'modernize'.
