I have a 05 nx882 I took it out the other day caught a couple put them in the live well

my pumps were working but I think they were pumping water into the hull because when I loaded the boat alot of water drainedfrom the hull. If anyone has any advice on why this occured please let me know. Thanks

Had my pump break at the stem where the hose is clamped to the pump that pumps fresh water in of course I had to replace the pump....next time your out turn it on and then go look at it while it's running....not sure if you could hold hose up at outside inlet and turn on then look at it??

Had this happen to my boat one time and I could fix it a the house...



Fill the livewell up with water and close your valve. Run the recirc pump to see if there are any hoses or fittings leaking. If not take your screen off the inlet on your aeriator pump and plug it with a rubber plug. Open your valve and see it there are any leaks. Make sure you fill up the livewell all the way cause its that pressure that will show you the leak. If still no leak the put the hose back in the livewell and check the overflow lines by letting the livewell overflow. If still no leaks then its somewhere else...



Hopefully its not the hull. GOODLUCK

You can hear the pump if it is working. You probably have a broken line or a broken fitting, I have had the same thing happen to me as Mike has.

Another thing to watch for is the seperation of the top seam on the wells. With livewells full and bouncing across the water, the livewells can sink down and open a seam at the top allowing overflow and spilling into the hull. It's common on many boats between the top cap seal and top of the livewell over time. Most times an RTV application around the gap created at the top can eliminate, if not at least greatly restrict, the overflow into the hull. The RTV is also flexible for the movement under load. Good luck!
