So after finding the hose laying in the bottom of the boat I disconnected it from the Transom fitting and discovered the hose clamps were not even tight. Silicone was on the Hose Barbs so I think these hoses had been leaking in the past. I assume the Bow Livewell Drain hose shrunk and just pulled off the barb. I replaced the Drain Hose to the Aft Livewell. Used 2 clamps on each end of the hose too.
Look at the hole, no wonder the bilge pump couldn't keep up.
I mixed up a very stiff thickened epoxy and using a epoxy syringe I back filled the fitting from the inside pumping the epoxy against the bondo spreader taped over the opening on the outside. Once the fitting was filled I cut a .750 hardwood dowel and buttered it with the remaining epoxy then inserted it into the fitting for added insurance. The double clamps will ensure no water leaks.
