06 190. The drivers side livewell isn't getting any water. I can hear the pump running but no h2o. I've flushed with hose. Any ideas? If i fill it with hose and turn on Recirculate it will recirculate, but not fill. Also, the amount of water being put out isn't much on the one that works. Should it take 5 minutes to fill? I'm new to skeeters.. Thanks for your help.
I had a similar problem with mine when it was new. Eventually it quit working. Not saying that your problem but could be. For these boats they put in the 500 GPH pumps which in my opinion are small. I changed mine out to the 700 GPH and they work alot better than the 5's. Fill time is less and has more"force" when recirculating.

I had a similar problem with mine at first. I was leaving the switch for the valve(s) on auto or recirc. What I think was happening was when the boat got launched off the trailer some air was trapped around the valve/pump and it was air locked. Since then, I always leave the valves on empty.........haven't had the problem since.
As far as the fill rate. Check inside the livewell near the nozzle. It has a little valve that could be partially closed.
Marsh Skeeter has good thought also, airlock..........

The livewell valce is wide open. As far as airlock? How do i fix that? The pump not working is a brabd new pump. Thanks
Next time you launch the boat have the livewell valves on "empty" not auto or recirc.
Hope it works
I have that problem on occasion. When it happens I put my boat in reverse and goose it a bit and the pump will pick right up.
