    Livewell Problem


    I have a 2008 ZX 200. Went to turn on port side livewell fill, pump was working but no water was entering the tank. Yes, the nozzle was turned on. The next time I go, the port side worked and the starboard side didn't. Can anyone help?? What am I doing wrong? They worked fine until a few weeks ago.

    Mine did that once. I think the pump was air locked. Because I removed the pump to check for blockage, found none, put the boat back in the water and it worked.

    Mine were doing that too. They just get airlocked. If that happens, turn pump on and run the big motor in reverse. This will force the air through. Works every time. Sometimes throwing the trolling motor on high and going backwards will work too.
