Any way i can get a dwg, installation procedure, and rough material list, along with recommended pump to install a baitwell circulation and washdown system.  I guess this is an option on this boat new and wasn't installed.  i'm very mechanical inclined and want to do this myself, but would like some input on doing this chore.  when i purchased the boat the owner installed speakers where i believe the access plates were for the live wells, and have have a forward and aft access plates on the deck for the fuel tank.  Any imput is greatly appreciated.

I/o or outboard bilge located,  this is a generic and maybe too simple description as i dont know your boat personally.
decisions.....
do you want separate sytstems or split?
there must be lots of info online somewhere.
basic...
you probably want a through hull pickup (with the slots pacing foreward)
you locate a spot in the rear ~30% of the hull, between keel and first strake(with access inside boat) if there is one, drill hole, install pickup with sealer,inside backing  and nut and any minor fasteners.
attach a seacock valve on top of pickup, put a sea strainer on that if desired, put  desired pump(centrifugal most common/innexpensive) on top or plumbed via hose near that, run hose to bait tank or to a Y valve if you are going to split system.
If you split system run one hose to bait well(equip baitwell  drain with a removeable overflow tube with a coarse screen filter) you may also put a small valve on the bait tank inlet if you want to regulate flow. run other hose to washdown outlet with or without valve.  run positive
wire from pump to a switch at helm or near tank, run other side of switch to a fuse or breaker, run neg ground wire from switch to nearest ground or negative bussbar. test for leaks and operation ad bait and you are go.

some people run a  complete separate system for washdown and use  a flex vane or diaprhragm pump for more pressure and  internal automatic  pressure shutoff switch. a Y valve is often istalled in washdown system so it can be a backup bait pump .this setup is more common for mcuh larger offshore boats that are out for multi days and carry $100++ +bait  and cant deal with "rolled bait" 100miles offshore.
ask some other fishboat owners at your launch area  or marina to see their bait systems
or even climb into a similar model at a boatshow.
systems are very common.
appologies if this isnt remotely what you need to know or if it isnt completely proffessional or bia/nmma approved.

list , through hull pcikup and hardware, marine sealer several 3m products avail.
seacock valve, strainer, pump , switch, fuse, wire and  wire connectors, hose ,hose clamps, tank inlet fitting. tank overfill drain tube.
if  somehow tank not drain plumbed you will need a drain fitting, a another hose and clamps ,&
a through hull fitting to run drain  water overboard.

optional     Y valve, aditional hose and clamps, tank inlet control valve, washdown valve. tank drain screen

anyone feel free to add to this list .(or criticise it).
