Ranger Water Pump and Aerator Problem
Hey guys,
So a buddy and I went fishing early in February in my 1999 Ranger 518VS Comanche and the live well did not drain completely and I unknowingly stored it with water left in the tanks. Needless to say it all froze. Since then the live well is now free of ice, and I have cleared the aerator holes of ice as well. Even the mechanism that turns the live well from recirc to empty to auto was frozen, and I thawed that out and all moves freely now.
Now, when my live well is turned to the "auto" fill setting, no water automatically pumps into my tanks. Also, whenever I try to turn on the aerator, you can hear/feel the aerator kick on, but no air comes through the lines.
Do i need to replace all of my lines? Could there still be a clog of ice somewhere in the lines even though the weather has been in the high 60s since then?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
