    New Z-18 Live Well Pump Out Issue

    My live well pump out works, I pull the valve in the live well and turn on the recirculate switch, but it is like there is a timer and it shuts off after a minute or so way before the live well is empty. If i turn it off and back on it will pump for another minute or so and shut off again. Any help with this?

    It sounds like you have a switch that is set in the auto position...in auto there is a built in timer. It will come on a few seconds then shut off for a small period the come back on repeating the process. The switch should also have a manual setting. In manual it will run constant/all the time as long as the switch is in manual.

    Flip you switch the other way.
    If you flip it up its on a timer if you flip it down it will run till you turn it off.
    That's how my z18 is anyway
