As Seafarer228G mentioned, it should be an optional feature on the boat, I believe it's going to be behind the passenger seat in the lift up compartment right adjacent to the fish box. It's a bit on the smaller side though, especially when compared to the 228 Seafarer which actually has a true livewell at the stern of the boat and is 20 gallons in size. Comparatively, the one on the 226 Seafarer I imagine is likely half that size and considerably shorter to where if the lid isn't shut, I'd imagine a good deal of water will splash out of it. I've yet to use mine, considering the fishing style that I do, but it is a nice option to have and makes the boat incredibly more functional with it as well as the bracket on the back.
