    Livewell Question

    Sorry for all the questions. Tried to call Charger, but they said Jim was the man but he only works 2 days a week and said call back Tuesday.

    Aerator switch pumps water into the livewell. Bait tank switch acts as recirculator and pump out depending on position of pipe inside livewell. The bait tank switch has automatic timer built into the switch I believe. It also seems to be a 2-way on switch (top and bottom) similar to running lights. Does the top and bottom offer 2 different timer options? Yesterday was the first time I actually used the livewell (both of them) and neither one seemed to have any rhythm to the on/off cycles. I didn't have a watch to time it though, but I'm pretty sure the starboard side was cycling twice as much as the port side. I was hoping somebody knew the actual on/off cycles. And lastly are there timers that can actually go bad behind the dash?
