My livewells leak when I switch them to recir and pull the boat out of the water for weigh-ins. I blew out the drains with a hose and it seems a little better but what else should I be looking at to fix the leaks?

flappers on valve are dry and leaking. Pull out valve and replace flappers.

Did mine a few weeks ago. Took about 30 minutes total.
Good luck with it. Worst design boat builders ever did was use Flow-rite valves! If i had one big livewell on my 488 i would eliminate the junky valves for good! I just dont want to drill a series of holes if i dont have to. Im sure there are people that love them but i have had problems with even new ones out of package. I just pvc cap my drains off now to achieve livewell filling all the way up. I changed out twice and can only get my wells to fill up halfway, will not fill to the top and i bought new V3 valves(rec/empty/auto).

My th marine valves lasted 16 years. I didn't know any better and got flowrite. Hoping for a few trouble free years at least. Lol
Sounds like both pumps were not working.
