    Livewell pump out

    Does anyone have trouble with their pump out? May be air locking, I'm not sure. I can spray a waterhose into the fitting inside the livewell and it'll start pumping and will continue to pump out until I turn the switch off. If I turn it off and back on, it won't start pulling water until I spray the hose in it again. Obviously, a water hose on the lake isn't an option.

    I was under the impression that the live well pump out was a option I have had some strokers with 3 only pumps .....current one has 5 or 6 pumps and most likely
    has the pump out as it is fully optioned out.... pump out on this one is not working also....let me know the fix...

    Is your pump running and not pulling water?

    Like you said, sounds like your getting air in the hose between the livewell and cartridge. With the boat in the water, it pumps it out regardless. With the boat on the trailer AND if the manual drain is open, it will not pump out. Close the drain and it pumps out again

    It does not pump out sitting in the lake, and it will drain with valve open on trailer but will not pump out with valve open or closed.

    I'd complain to the previous owner, he should have disclosed that flaw while selling the Stroker.

    At this point, I just need it to work. I have always used pumpout a lot when tournament fishing. We pump the water down and pump fresh in through out the day.

    Assuming the hoses are long enough going to the livewell, maybe try to swap the recirc and pumpout. After that I'm thinking the fuel tank would need to come out.
