Been there done that!!!!!!!
I would put a $100 bill that it is one of the hoses below the floor for the livewell system. Start by making sure the hull is empty, then jack the tounge up and put your plug in. Now, find the drain to the livewell and use a large cork/float and stop it up. Once that drain hole is closed off, go to each drain hole inside the livewell system (depending on how many you have) and put the water hose to it. Don't use a nozzle, just the hose and let water run into each livewell, one at a time. If water is draining out of the livewell, but not out of the thru-hull fitting you stopped up, it should be going into the bildge.
To confirm the water is leaking into the bildge from the livewell, leave the hole for the drain stopped up and remove your boat's plug. If you have water coming out of the hull now, you know for a fact it is a hose/fitting leaking. Thus, the search can begin!
Have several people I have helped fix this problem. One of my buds almost sank his 22' Triton over a $0.50 plastic fitting used to "T" off of one drain hose into another. Hope this helps and let us know what you find!
