I have a 97 Stratos 285 PE. Was hoping some of you could help me up with the live well. You control the livewells at the bow. If you flip the switch to manual, the wells will fill constantly. Once you switch it to automatic, it will pump fresh water in on a timer. When trailering the boat, I flip the switches at the bow to off and flip the switches at the console to recirculate. This will recirculate the water on constant but does not pump fresh water in.
So here's my question, when running the livewells on the automatic timer, it seems they fill up way too much. It fills to the point where the spray nozzle is under water which I don't like because I want the water to splash to increase the water flow which provides more oxygen. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way I can avoid this?
There is an overflow so I'm not worried about the water filling up too high but when the automatic timer only pumps in new water rather than recirculating, it seems like the new water would be the first to go into the overflow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
