Jeff C Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I recently purchased this boat from a dealership. It has about 10 hours on it. We put it on the water for the first time yesterday, tried to fill the livewell but nothing happened. We were out on the lake when I tried it but didn't hear nothing. Does the boat motor need to be running or just the key on? Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted July 5, 2021 Super User Posted July 5, 2021 Livewell pumps are electric - don't depend on the main motor. Things to check 1) The switch 2) The wiring between switch and pump 3) The pump Quote
813basstard Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 We’re you moving? Over about 7 mph my livewell will not pump water in Quote
Solution Bolar Posted July 6, 2021 Solution Posted July 6, 2021 You need to "prime" the pump. Go backwards. Quote
Jeff C Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks everyone, priming the pump did the trick! I didn't do it on the lake, but I was able to it with a garden hose at the house. 1 Quote
