Bilge pump was coming on often. Put boat into water to find leak in the livewell system and fix it. If your Bilge pump stops working your boat can sink. Recommend to close your intake and outflow valves if you keep your boat in the water. Do not ignore if your bilge pump is coming on regularly. This could be done on land using a garden hose to fill up baitwell tank.

Thanks. I really appreciate the tip on tying tools to a line to make retrieving a dropped tool easier.

That was the most well thought out project I have ever seen. Great instructional video!

you can do this all out of the water by cutting power to auto bilge and filling your hull with water. water will come out of the intake or discharge depending on which one has the leak

Fill your hull until it starts leaking pretty good. Then pressurize the port that is leaking with your garden hose. Wherever the bubbles come from is your leak.

I just had this problem and almost sank. Not having the water of the lake I didn’t get a good reaction from filling the livewell at home. Was the drain hose for my bait well

Are you sure you didn’t crack hose while fishing it out of your boat?

@ahndeux 2 жыл бұрын

Never use those spiral hoses for a pressured inlet hose. You need to use Sierra livewell hose that is solid and doesn't have that spiral. Those hoses are pure JUNK and it will break again when its under pressure. I wouldn't even use them on the outlet side without any pressure.

If you had just started from the discharge point and worked your way back you could have saved yourself 8 1/2 minutes.

Livewells are the dumbest thing on the planet for about 99.99% of the population. Unless you are a tournament fisherman, there is ZERO need for one. Trying to figure out how to plug mine and remove it.

@Kevtheguitarguy 4 ай бұрын

It seems mine only works half the time. A 5 gallon bucket usually serves the purpose except when I go grouper fishing. Have to load up on pinfish and keep them alive. In the summer bucket water gets too warm quickly have to keep it circulating
