Draining livewell while docked?

Maybe a simple answer to this questions but I don't know so I am gonna ask. I have a Tracker Super Guide V-16 and am going to have it docked this spring-fall for the first time this year. Typically if I use the livewell, I drain it after I pull my boat out of the lake at the parking spot. Since it is gravity fed, how do I drain my livewell while I am on the lake and not pulling it out for 6-7 months? TIA

My 2018 pro guide deep v tracker has a pump out live well. Inside the live well is pipe you push in or pull out for recirculate or pump out and use the manual switch....I think that's how it works. I usually just gravity drain at the ramp like you. I have only used the pump out a couple times.

and as long as that hose to the tank is sealed below waterline (no holes, breaks, leaks) , water will backup to the waterline level but the remainder of the water in the tank will drain out. if there are holes in that hose below the waterline - well, boat will sink eventually....
