    Rt 188 livewellpumps

    How many live well pumps on a 2022 Rt 188?
    manual pump works but the auto pump does not. Could it be the live well timer?
    thanks in advance

    That should be the same pump. Probably your timer switch is bad.

    Update: there are actually 2 pumps. One is located under the live well. You have to remove the seat box and access is there. It was a pain in the butt, but it is all back together.

    I also was not aware of a second pump. I assume one is for fresh water and the other is for recirculating?

    The recirc pump is the one located under the live well. The pump at the transom is for filling livewell.

    Thank you for updating with pics! Big help for in the future for someone (me lol).

    How does the seat box come out? Is it just screwed in with a million screws? Looks like they didn't make anything easy!

    I don’t have the seat box but instead have the middle seat that pivots forward with the passenger seat. I hope I never need to access that pump.

    I don’t think you have this pump. 2018 was Pre-Johnny and that’s where I think the design changed.

    Thanks for that info, it makes sense as I’ve had to replace a pump once and it seemed to do everything.
