    Livewell fills not working

    2000 2100

    Aerator and fill on same selector switch. Pump out on different selector switch.

    Aerators and pump outs work.

    Fills (pump ins) do not. They do nothing. Occasionally, one makes one little electrical noise and instantly dies.

    Are pump ins on separate pumps, fuses, etc?

    Without removing the 4 batteries I can see two pumps for port side (bilge and pump out) but don't see a third. Starboard side I can't really see anything.

    Thanks.

    Hope is not a method!

    ALL YOUR BILGE PUMPS ARE UNDER THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA....
    you've got 3 pumps on port(fill, aerarate, pump out) and 3 pumps on starboard(fill, aerarate, pump out) side of boat right around the live well area on each side of batteries...
    very simple to replace which ever pump is gone bad...i'd be sure to replace it with a 1000gps pump...
    BUT BEFORE YOU go replacing the pumps, since you say neither are working, check under your dash as high as you can reach, there is a RESET BLOCK with maybe 15 lil reset buttons that will pop out if the pumps haven't been used in a while...
    just be sure NONE of the lil buttons are out...if they are all in, and it still doesnt work go ahead and replace em...
    I KEEP 2 EXTRA PUMPS IN MY BOAT at ALL TIMES, easy fix on water...

    Re: Livewell fills not working (low slung cruiser)

    OK - My RESET buttons are at very bottom of dash facing out to driver at the lowest point below the switches. All seem to be set and none could be pushed in.

    I can see 4 pumps - 2 each side mounted to rear of livewells. All four are working (2 pump outs, 2 aerators).

    I do not see pumps 5 and 6 for the pump ins/fills. Are they going to be under livewell or under battery tray? Going to be a PITA if so.

    Thanks.

    its there...
    lets see...aerarator pump is to the top, pump out and pump is on the bottom...I THINK...cant remember, and they may have switched them around a bit, but i'm telling you one of GAMBLERs selling points has always been there QUICK PUMP removal...

    easiest way is to turn one on, go back there and listen...

    Turn one on and listen/feel - Thats what I did to determine what each of the four I can see are.

    Just haven't located the other two for pump ins. Guess I will have to take time to pull batteries out of way so I can see. Someone may have relocated over the years?

    Thanks.

    Does your Gambler have tabs?

    The fill pumps will be next to the trim tab tubes.

    Look under the transom for "intake screens", the fill pumps will be directly above the screens.
