Plumb Livewell in XFactor... or Not - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If it's installed properly it shouln't have any problems. The thing you have to dicide, is would you rather use the front as additional storage or the bait tank. The earlier version did not have the front tank and had the option to make the hatch behind the seat into the built in bait tank. Also Malibu make a removable tank that fits into the rear hatch area and uses the hatch lid to seal the top of the tank. That way you still have both front hatches for a lot of storage. Look in the online store for the OEX link and check out that tank option in the bait tank menu. Good Luck. Great choice on the X Factor.

I have an xfactor and love having my live well. OEX did an awesome job. With the other two compartments, storage is not a problem. Trust me, you'll love it.
