Livewell Auto Recirculate Doesn't Work

[Mark Hofman]

This weekend I discovered that the livewell fills up just fine using the MANUAL switch. However, it does not appear to pump water in the AUTO position. We closed the fill valve after draining the livewell, set the switch to AUTO and after ten minutes there wasn't any new water added.



I suspect that the switch is bad. Does anyone know what a replacement switch will cost me? Or, should I be looking at something else (circuit breaker, fuse, pump, etc.)?

MoFish,it's the timer mine did not work when it was new. There is a little can under the dash 3" long, just check that the wire's did not come loose. Very easy to replace.

It os probaly your timer

my tracker did the same thing. Manual worked fine but auto would never turn on

it is a small film canister looking thing probaly under dash (mine was orange)

Tracker charged me about 17$ they were actually cheaper than the local dealer, but I was ording other stuff so I wasn't worried about shipping

good luck

Mine turns on, but never off. It runs the same as manual. Wish the timer worked so I don't forget off for too long and fish get stressed or on for too long and drain the battery. Anyone ever use the ones in Cabelas (sorry Ken, not is BPS) that have the timers built right in? They're $25-$30 a whack.
