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.

Dang. Did you take any pics that you could share here for those of us that will be facing this task one day?

Good to know for the future.

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!
