Leaky livewell valve anyone?

[Charlie Nethaway]

My livewell leaks, if it is full and on the trailer it leaks and when the pump comes on it leaks more... I had the first service dep. say they tryed three and they all leaked and now the second shop put another one on and still leaks the two service people that have tv-18 say they put a plug in to stop it because thers does it also. (why didnt i get that from the factory?) I hear there are some nitro's that have the same valve/pump and some leak....anyone?

Charlie I have noticed that on my 929 when I go to set the livewell controls to pump out I still have some water coming in on the driver

Hey Tom Mac,

Same problem in my Avalanche, I just replaced one of my recirculator switches do to a short in it. It would work when you first turned it on, then run a couple of cycles then quit. Found out the hard way when all my fish died in the livewell during a BFL Tournament. Might be a problem with the supplier buying cheap foreign parts.
