My bad. I think what I meant to ask is whether you are able to adjust the amount of water the livewell holds, for instance 3 gallons instead of 5?

No, 6 1/4 gallons is it.

Because of where the outlet hole is located you cannot have less than the stated capacity, and besides why wouldn't you want the full capacity?

One gallon of water equals 8.33lbs. If I'm scratching for bait and can only manage a couple I like the option of knowing I can cut down on some weight, by not having to fill the whole tank up. All in all, I really like the design and build of this tank. It feels really sturdy, and the quality seems top notch.
