    Question Ranger Water Pump and Aerator Problem

    Hey guys,

    So a buddy and I went fishing early in February in my 1999 Ranger 518VS Comanche and the live well did not drain completely and I unknowingly stored it with water left in the tanks. Needless to say it all froze. Since then the live well is now free of ice, and I have cleared the aerator holes of ice as well. Even the mechanism that turns the live well from recirc to empty to auto was frozen, and I thawed that out and all moves freely now.

    Now, when my live well is turned to the "auto" fill setting, no water automatically pumps into my tanks. Also, whenever I try to turn on the aerator, you can hear/feel the aerator kick on, but no air comes through the lines.

    Do i need to replace all of my lines? Could there still be a clog of ice somewhere in the lines even though the weather has been in the high 60s since then?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like your impellers broke from freezing. Check those first.
