    LIVEWELLS DRAINING ???

    i have a 1994 200zx and have a problem with the both livewells holding water,,,they fill fine with flip of switch and both aerate well too,,, but even with the "open/close" levers in "closed" position they dont "hold" water,,, is there an adjustment for the levers to "tighten" the closing power??? or are there o rings on a valve near each tank??? how do i get to them if thats the case?????????

    Your valve is probably either unhooked from the cable that runs to the switch or broken. One of mine broke a while back and I used a cork plug until I got it fixed.

    You have to take the batteries, oil tank, ect; out. I have one with a broken cable I am just putting drain plugs in the outside holes until I take the stuff out.

    PITA!

    I had some work done on my boat a month ago and had them fix it while they were working on it.

    well i had out batteries and oil tank and removed the inspection cover,,,,i found 2 flow rite reversable check valves,,, no one near stocked the "rebuild" kit so ,,, i removed 4 screws on each valve took of cover w/lever attached and found 2 rubber "flappers" inside each valve and they looked worn so not having new parts i cleaned them and glued on bicycle tube repair patches on each flapper ,,, all is fixed and i only spent $1.50 on little repair kit
