    Livewell lever question

    Yesterday, while out tinkering with the new boat, I opened and then closed the livewell drain with the lever. It was kinda tough, then it just let loose. I didn't crank it hard. When I unscrewed the lever, I saw the the thin cable had broke a tiny piece off which connected to the lever arm. How hard is this to fix. Also, shouldn't this be a warranty issue since the boat isn't 3 years old??? Thanks guys..

    I had the same problem....luckily mine did not break....those little valves get clogged up pretty easy, I just took mine out cleaned it up...works like a new one.

    i had this fear of breaking the cable on my old 181, so instead of over using it buy a 5/8 inche plug and seal it when not in a tournament
