Hi Anthony, what is not working in the livewell system.  Is the aeration system broke, or is it not filling up with water.  If it is just the aeration system, you can buy one of those portable aeration systems that you drop right into the livewell...  It'll be much easier for you in $$ and work.     If it is not filling up with water, I'm sure a few others will come around with some suggestions, but it might be as simple as the line is clogged, or you just need to replace the pump...

If it's an older boat your switched may not be working so you may have to replace those, also check the fuses, they may be old and blown as well. You also may need to put a new livewell pump in there.

I have put a livewell in before on my own. What I did was get some heating and air conditioning duct work material. Its that heavy alunminum. Had a guy i know bend it for the specs i needed and then sealed the seams. Placed it in the boat and added the pump and hose to it. Make sure you have the pump real close to the intake hole. Pretty simple to do and a lot less exspensive then taking it in and having it done
