    Help with livewell leak in valve box

    looks like I may have a leak in what I think is the valve box, it is black and attached to the pump and the cable is right there, when I turn the livewell on it squirts water out right at the box possibly where there may be a screw holding the housing together on the bottom...anyone have any ideas on where to start to have this fixed....

    Wacker:
    I think you have a couple options. First, I would take it out and take it apart and see if it has some sort of debris inside causing the leak. They are pretty simply designed. If I remember correctly, there is simply a rubber flapper type valve in it. If the flapper is bad, you might be able to replace it. If not, I guess you'll have to replace it. Perhaps an expert will come along that has recently worked on one. Good luck with it.

    I did talk to someone at Flow-rite, I got the number off of here after searching, he seems to think the gasket may have dislodged, so yea I need to take it out and take it apart....

    My leak into one livewell was too much for my dealer to figure out... new valves and all... it still leaks about 2 gallons into it every day out... anyone actually know how to isolate and solve this?
