    Live well drain

    I think I know the answer to this but do you have to remove the tank to fix the drain value, I think the cable has come loose. It's still attached to the lever in the live well, thanks

    let me know what you find out mine is doing the same thing. Seem like the cable came loose. Good thing is it is in the closed position so I just pump it out if I use it.

    I'm with you on that one, it's not too difficult, just a pain

    But why this thread is going... I replaced my valve and everything and like 2 weeks later it quit working too... does anyone else have consistent trouble? I just but a pvc cap and capped my live well off. I can pump it out or unscrew the cap. But just curious
