Jon Boat Livewell
livewell operation?
I bought a 16 ft lowe big jon boat 1992.I am not sure how the livewell works.Is the plug in the bottom supposed to be in? Should there be bubbles coming out of it when it is working.Mine doesnt do anything when i flip the switch.any feedback would be appreciated
Typically you plug the bottom (drain) only when the boat is moving… otherwise it creates a vaccum and sucks all of the water out of your livewell when you take off. I’ve seen some boats with a simple shut off valve to prevent this if the plumbing is accessible… if not use a plug. If you aren’t moving you can leave the plug out and it allows fresh water circulation through the livewell. Even with the plug out and the pump off the livewell should back fill through the drain to a level equal to that of the water level outside of the boat. When you switch on the livewell it should start pumping water into it, it just helps to add air to the water by breaking the water surface and it keeps fresh water flowing through the livewell. If it’s not pumping you have a problem, check the fuse first… and the switch, and then the pump. The pump is typically mounted at the base of the transom (rear) next to where your drain plug is. You’ll have a bilge pump on one side and your livewell pump on the other, it will be the one that is plumbed to pull the water in through a hole there at the base of the transom. The bilge should have an outlet up higher, and is run off of a float switch or a switch on the dash. It’s probably a good idea to make sure both pumps are working…
Good Luck!
