This was my old boat. . .
This is my "new-to-me" boat . . .
Now, I need some help! How does the recirc work? The aero works fine in the Auto position, but it doesn't seem to affect the recirc. In the pics below I would turn the recirc to Both and the switch is on Auto but it never shuts off. Is that normal? And what is the bottom switch for?
I will take a shot at this and maybe right, maybe not. If you put the lever in circulate it won't take fresh water from the lake. The aero only runs air into the livewells and the recircul actually pulls water in to fill them or recirculate water. The bottom switch is Accesory.

Hmmm. I'm not so sure it's working that way. Here's how I thought that it worked:
Valves closed, set for recirc vs. pump out - Aerator pumps water from lake into the livewell, (recirc pumps would do nothing since no water in wells). When in "Auto" mode, the aerator would continue to pump water from the lake into the wells on a timer basis and the spillover goes ?somewhere??. The recirculate only pumps from within the well back into the well or if set to pump out, it would pump it out the livewell drain. Recirculate is what I would prefer to run all the time so I wouldn't lose my Rejuvinate (or whatever it's called) livewell additive. What I can't figure out is why there is only one Auto/Man Timer switch and should that control the recirculate pumps. The Accessory switch . . no clue yet what it does.
Do it have a pro-air system? Igf so, that may be the acc switch...Turn it on and see if anything comes on...
As for the timers, my 96 was the same way...The aerators had the timers to bring in fresh water on a timed basis, but the recirc was a full time on/off...No timers...
How much does all that livewell stuff (switches, timers etc.) cost? Looks like instruments in an aeroplane cockpit.
