1985 Starcraft FM160. It is a16' with 50 hp Evinrude, side console, flat floor with raised bow platform aluminum boat. This is my first project boat and it has been gutted. I will lay new flooring and build custom storage lockers and seating throughout as well as a new live well in the raised bow platform. I'm looking for help with the plumbing layout from the transom to the bow live-well. I want to plumb and wire it before I lay the decking. I realize there are different systems and I'm eager to look at all. I'm looking for visual aids, diagrams, photos and suggestions along with written instructions on how to lay the plumbing under the decking. For the livewell I was thinking a pump to fill from the transom, an over flow and a plug to gravity drain when I pull the boat out of the water. I'll probably add a timer to it as well.

Thanks to all, Dan...
