I wonder where the heck they put a live well.
Take a Volt meter and test the inbound DC to the livewell pump. See if you can also meter the positive lead to the livewell pump and an alternate DC ground for something else. Often it's the ground that is bad and is susceptible to corrosion. Do the same to the switch that turns the live well on and off.
You can trace the wires back. It will work backwards from the livewell pump to the switch, to the DC battery source. That source will either be the battery with an inline fuse, or the fuse bus under the dash. If they did the job well, they tied the wiring into an Accessory switch at the helm.
If the switch is an ACC at the the helm then they should have used a fuse holder on the fuse bus. Meter the positive to the inbound side of the fuse and the positive on the outbound side of the fuse, then the positive to the inbound side of the switch and the outbound side of the switch with the switch on.
If you're not familiar with troubleshooting 12VDC then find an electrician.
