Aussie,
Let me know how that works, I saw on one of your earlier post that you have some warmer weather and will be boating for a little while longer. I've winterized mine and have it stored for the winter. I think I see what your talking about though. The picture that NJWardy posted is the view behind that black grate

When the live was full I inadverntly forgot to empty the water, so I did when the boat was on the trailer. I did establish which port it drains from and that it port was clear of debris.
I looked in my manual to see what wisdom was in there. Unfortunately, the 195 DC isn't even in the manual; however, the manual did speak to a livewell "stand pipe" which my boat does not have.
