My livewells won’t hold water when I flip the switch recirculate, have to keep it on Auto all tournament. Any ideas on a quick fix?

Don’t hold water at all, or a slow leak down? There is a small amount of adjustment in the valve control cable, but more likely the recirc valve [flapper] inside the valve body has developed a leak or has debris stuck in it. The quickest fix possibly is a replacement of the whole valve body, but inspection and replacement of the flapper/s is a less drastic action. Either way involves standing on your head in the bilge, something I leave to my dealership staff these days [cervical fusion happened].
